Re: Bumpers vs Frame which is better
The bumpers will definately help protect the robots against hard hits especially during autonomous with all 6 robots starting reletively close to each other. I don't see them as benefitting one side more than the other. As noted by other posters, the extra weight might help. You're still going to see pushing matches and some ramming. The bumpers will help the robots stand up to the beatings better.
