You get an additional 15 lbs just for the bumpers (that is, 15 lbs on top of the 120 you're allowed for the robot).

<R10> The weight of any bumper assemblies included on the robot that are in compliance with Rule <R35> is excluded from the robot weight limit specified in Rule <R09>, up to a maximum of 15 pounds.

<R35> Goes into more detail about bumper specifications, if you're interested.

In any case, 857 doesn't have bumpers simply because we didn't have enough time to make them. That might change at the Milwaukee regional, though.
