Re: Bumpers

I think that bumpers will definitely be needed a lot during the game. Unless everybody is going to design their chassis based on stress management then, robot chassis will be very beat up by the end of a just a few rounds. With robots trying to race around a track as fast as possible, people are very very likely to bump. I also hope that people have more than one speed because trying to "lightly bump" to move ahead will turn into collisions if everybody is going at top speed.
