Re: 2 sets of bumpers legal?

Even though it's a completely different matter and unrelated to the original question in this discussion, 1519's bumpers last year between both robot configurations were within the 15-pound weight limit. We had a set of of six bumpers (some of which were quite short) which altogether weighed less than 15 pounds. Only four of the six bumpers would be on the robot for any given match.

If you can make your two complete sets of bumpers together satisfy the weight limit (as well as all the other bumper requirements) I would think you should be fine.

However, the GDC took the exact opposite perspective last year, ruling that all the bumpers needed to be on the robot at one time.
