A very valid and simple reason to not have bumpers:
They easily go into the lower goals beyond 3". They will result in your team being disqualified in the seeding rounds or your entire alliance being DQed in the elimination rounds.
Even if you are pushed in by an opposing robot - you will be DQed.

Once a robot is in place to deposit balls in the corner goal, ramming it from behind generally
has no purpose other than to destroy, unnecessarily harass, or force a goal incursion of the
scoring robot. Repeatedly ramming a robot that is depositing balls in the corner goal from
behind may be called for a <G22> violation and may incur a 5 point penalty or a
disqualification.

so if your robot doesn't go into the corner goal normally but another robot pushes you into it, it is penalty for the other team. not you.
So were the referees calling this penalty wrong at a lot of places? This update may become handy to carry around in your manual binder if you think a referee ruled incorrectly at regionals.
