Re: Brainstorm: Improving the FRC bumper rules

I also don't have much of a problem with bumper rules. On the other hand, I had the "pleasure" of being knocked out of eliminations in 2007 and 2008 as a result of those flags, so I'm glad to see that they are gone.

While it was nice to be able to identify alliances with the bumpers, I think it did mess with the team identities a bit. Then again, this game lent itself to boxy, short robots. I think with a game with taller robots (e.g. 2009 or 2006) teams would have lots of space to display their usual colors/logo/etc, and the lack of personalized bumpers would be less noticeable.
