Re: Brainstorm: Improving the FRC bumper rules
I appreciate your opinions on whether bumpers should be mandatory or not. Honestly though, that will be up to the GDC.
Based on all the opinions posted thus far, it seems to boil down to one of three options that the GDC will give us. Regardless of what your opinion is, or the logic behind your opinion, only one of these three options will be provided.
Option 1: Bumpers will be prohibited.
Option 2: Bumpers will be optional
Option 3: Bumpers will be mandatory.
Obviously option 1 will not have any rules associated with their design, so that one really merits very little if any discussion.
That leaves the options 2 and 3. With either of these situations, I see the rules applying to the design and implementation of the bumpers being identical.
So, that being said, the focus of these discussions really should be about what the rules could/should be. Additionally, suggestions of how to actually implement said rules would be great.
