My vote to those is NO and NO
bumpers were one of the last things done for "safety" and see what they've become?
Requiring gloves is completely unnecessary as is mandatory handles, if a team wants the convenience of handles leave them to build them in themselves. (233 did this year)
Gloves, if someone is personally worried about their hands let them get a pair of gloves, dont mandate that they use them.
I myself have never worn gloves at a robotics competition and also have never seen reason too
