Re: Cantilever Wheel Bumpers

Ultimately, the teams will probably have the final say in whether something counts as structural support for a bumper. But I think everyone should note the GDC's caution that they implemented this because unsupported bumpers were breaking or splintering under impacts. So teams should probably expect to get away with "structure" that doesn't look too incredibly flimsy.. But they should also expect bumpers to be closely examined for damage and for robots with damaged bumpers to be banned from the field until the problem is fixed.
