I loved watching the agressive play of 8 during the finals, 254 wasn't really getting ready to hurdle (or at least thats what it looked like to me on the webcast) when 8 started playing defense.
i just wish we could go back to the good old days with no bumpers...

What I do like about bumpers is that they establish the zone where robot-to-robot contact is clearly allowed while affording some protection (by rule) of mechanisms and other sensitive components from defense-oriented robots.
Having less stuff come off of robots during matches is a good thing for FIRST.
