Remember that only 2/3eds of your robot needs to have bumpers.

Personally, I like the idea of bumpers. Last year, our robot had bumpers protecting 3 of the sides and the 4th was left open for our ramp. The bumpers seemed to work out very well for us, and in my opinion seem almost necessary so this year's game doesn't turn to carnage.
