Re: Bumpers vs Frame which is better

here is my input on the bumpers from first hand observation....
the bumpers not only (because of the design)have been protecting the frame,covers,wheels,drive and electronics...but also have been an advantage
to help the robot from tipping over if they have been applied to best use.

The tipping issue is most useful on robots with short wheel bases (mostly on four wheel bots)

I think after last years game because of the damage that could be done,
this might be why they suggested the bumpers
