we had this problem since we didnt have a bumper on our front where we have the ball loader/corner goal scorer and we almost had problems but then we cut the bumpers back so they dont extend past the end of the chassis problem=solved
btw ramming is still a penality regardless of bumpers or not bumpers may allow you to increase you speed doing it but not much we got a penality for ramming with our unprotected side during autonomous but they still would've given us the penality even if we had done it backward where we have bumpers---- just a warning
