If this game is anything like NASCAR [rubbins racing], there is going to be bumper material all over the field.
Is Shop Vac our new sponsor?
I personally think bumpers should be optional. I don't care to spend all that time fixing bumpers, removing them to work on the robot and getting inspected multiple times. This is an engineering problem and we should be able to design robots that don't need bumpers. If you can't hang with the big boys then put on some bumpers. Prior years I think teams used them for the weight advantage they gave, I don't think this year the weight will help, but will hinder you.
Just say no - to bumpers - and drugs.
