Re: Brainstorm: Improving the FRC bumper rules

I loved the easy identification of alliances. I know members of my team spent large amounts of time fabricating our bumpers, and they did a superb job. Hopefully one of them will post pictures of the construction, and the mechanisms used to switch them out.


As far as robot identification, bumpers were a nice standardization. Other ways to identify robots such as lights or covers wouldn't be as easy to standardize as bumpers are.

Including bumper materials in the kit and a mounting system for the kit bot may be a must in the future.
