Bumpers must be built exactly as specified in the manual including two stacked 2.5" diameter pool noodles.

If you feel that your robot needs further protection you are welcome to build additional protecting structures above the BUMPER ZONE into your design. These structures could be functionally identical to bumpers bu they would not be BUMPERS and would thus need to be counted in your weight and volume restrictions. They would need to be mounted so that the outside edge of these custom "bumpers" does not exceed your bumper perimeter.
