Stair-Step Bumper Design - Legality of Tetris-style bumpers
If my team (3161 Tronic Titans) decides to build a bumper set of 4 Tetris-shaped panels, does this violate the 2010 FRC Robot Regulations? The bumpers would basically be identical to the standard 'overlap' design, but would be offset by 2.5" so that the front of one panel is overtop of the next panel. Here is an illustration in two layers. Imagine one of the images being one plane of pool noodles, and the other image is the second plane. The colours indicate which pool noodles are connected. A side view is also included.
