Re: Bumper bracket and weight considerations

Everyone,
I can tell you that there has been a lot of discussion over the bumper design and rules. We all have to wait until the robot manual is released to know for sure if there is any change. The rule on bumper design should make all bumpers fairly alike but I can tell you, I saw almost as many bumper designs as I saw robots in the years since the bumper rule was included. As other have pointed out, R08 stated
"STANDARD BUMPERS must be
attached to the ROBOT with a boltand-
fastener system to form a
rigid, robust connection to the
ROBOT structure (i.e. not attached
with Velcro!)."
