And remember, this is coming from the person who said "If you don't like contact, your robot is not built well enough" And I still think our robot is built well enough.
Is this game being played rough at your regionals? Are ramming or destructional strategy penalties being given? I haven't seen a single one.

Re: Bumpers vs Frame which is better
I see bumpers as a failure point. If they rip or fall off or something, they can get caught in your drive system.
I guess you should have used the bumpers... hmmm.
