Re: Are the mandatory bumpers helping or hurting?
Honestly i cannot see how they are hurting.
Why I am not the biggest fan or advocate of bumpers, I do see where they help alot. Hearing those bangs of robot on robot, metal on metal contact were awesome in teh old days, but robots got BEAT UP. It was not uncommon to see teams rendered completely useless after an intense match.
Also a lot of the conclusions you draw come from the fact that this game is a lot different. How do you know bumpers aren't helping with tipping? I know that this is a crazy game where robots are hitting corners at top speed and going over, or they are getting caught up on an overpass with their arm and going over, but there is not really a way to say that tipping is more prevalent this year over previous years. Different game, different story.
