Re: Can bumpers have springs?

Who says the sides of your chassis aren't mounted on springs?


If you can find a way to have the bumpers segmented in such a fashion to keep it from violating the perimeter rules while the springs are both fully compressed and extended, then it seems like it would be legal.

I can think of ways to do it, but the amount of effort would far outweigh the results (especially given the further implications to interior "usable area" and mounting other robot parts to the frame).
