Re: pic: Team 1817's Black Widow

I still see no infraction. The bumpers were designed within the rules. It looks as thought the robot has a stack of 2.5 inch pool noodles, the only difference is the bumper has an undercut in the noodle and wood. It does not say anywhere in there that the ends of the bumper must be square. Also i don't see how any part other than the bumpers extends out further than the starting size.

Even so, if it is deemed illegal, all the team would need to do it cut that section off and leave the frame there exposed with no bumper, most of the hits will be to the side anyways.
