i agree with what you are saying. however, this makes it seem like robots without bumpers got destroyed beyond recognition. to some extent this is true. our robot did not use bumpers this year, and the frame held up very well. no major cracks or dents.

i guess what i am saying that almost all of the robots in the past games have not been destroyed when no one used bumpers. bumpers are nice to have, no doubt. but they also prohibit some cool features on robots from being made.
