Re: Modified bumper

Yes. The part on bottom is not part of the bumper, according to <R07-C> (stacked pair of pool noodles, and all that). Therefore, it is part of the robot. As such, there are numerous violations possible, particularly as pertains to the frame perimeter. (Or bumper zone, for that matter--it looks like it goes outside the bumper zone.)

Also, is it just the picture, or are those bumpers black? If it's not just the picture, you're in violation of <R07-F>.

I think I understand why you've put that on there; however, this particular implementation is not legal. Time for plan B: put that part on the bottom of the robot instead of on the bottom of the bumper.
