Re: Team Update #2

The thing that is confusing me is the 6" section part of the rule.

If they require that a wide-drive 'bot have 6" of bumpers in the front, then how did figure 8-2 come to pass? That figure clearly shows a bumper piece that wraps around a corner. Is that legal because it's more than 90-degrees?

How do you measure the length of an L-shaped bumper? Couldn't you just add up the internal lengths? Theoretically you might be able to make an L-shaped bumper that has 4" on one side and 2" on the other.

Figure 8-2 and the 6" rule are making my head hurt.
