Re: Bumpers: why not?

Yes, your bumpers can extend past that limit. the solution? we got the idea from a few other teams to put a guard up so that our robot would stop before its bumpers could get too far into the goal.
The 'guard' was just a peice of metal placed at each corner of the robot, just inside the bumpers. this allowed for us to stop before we reached the sensor, and therefore wouldnt get a penalty.
