I'd rather more teams have a reality check as to what they're capable of creating. I mean, is it really that hard to add bumpers later?
I just can't imagine the kind of team that would pass up the free weight of bumpers without evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of a bumperless frame and deciding why they need one. Also consider that they're not too difficult to build "thursday night" either, and that the same teams that go "psh we don't need bumpers lol" probably build the super strongth kitbot anyway.
