Re: 1/2" gap in bumpers, is this acceptable?
Sit around the inspector area and find the guy that is using sound judgement, letting stuff like that slide, and then take your robot to him. If you can kick a bumper in all locations with a size 12 hiking boot, it should pass. That's the idear behind all those rules anyhoo.

Back in the flag pole days I sent our poor overworked teacher out for some 1/2" PVC. She came back with CPVC. Well I said, any body with 1E11 brain cells to rub together knows that in every conceiveable way, CPVC is better than PVC and it would take a draconian, kitten-kicking, monster to tell these little puppy dog eyed kids, at 7:59pm on thursday, that he would not approve their robot with a CVPC pipe. If I was not so gracious, I would have let my feelings be known in no uncertain terms.
