Re: pic: Legal Bumper Configuration?
I think you might run into an issue with saying that the front of your robot is protected by a bumper.
The rule says that the first thing that contacts the wall has to be a bumper.
A bumper in the definitions includes the mounting board.
Your design appears to be hitting the wall with just the cloth and noodle portion of the side bumper.
I can only surmise that the rule is there to protect the walls from needless damage from metal or other hard portions of the robot because of the sliding characteristics of the robots this year.
This is certainly a question that needs to be asked in Q and A and not on here to get a correct interpretation.
I know that if I were inspecting the robot ... and without any other indications from GDC or Q and A... I would not pass this bumper configuration.
Now is the time to ask... get it in writing and keep it with you for inspection.
good luck!!
