Bumper Placement

I know you must fully surround your robot with Bumpers, I understand the dimensions and all. But remember last year when the bumpers had to be mounted at a certain height off the floor on the robot. Has anyone seen anything in any of the updates or manual that states the height we need to place them at? Just curious. Got to always ask, waiting for one of the FIRST updates to throw that curve ball.

Re: Bumper Placement

The definition of Bumper Zone can be found in Section 1.6 of the Game Manual. This includes the height. Bumpers must be entirely in the zone.

Re: Bumper Placement

It's been in the manual from the get go, in the definition of the Bumper Zone.

Re: Bumper Placement

I'm not sure, but can you tell me how to post a new thread? I'm new on the site and I can't figure it out.

Re: Bumper Placement

I'm sorry, but I don't see it. Could you be a little more descriptive?

Re: Bumper Placement

Instead of "Portal", hit either "Forums" (shown where "Portal" is when you're on the Portal) or the purple logo. Find the appropriate subforum for your post so that the right experts can find it faster, and it should be at the top of the thread listing for that subforum.
