Isn't that one of the definitions of FRC?
Glad your team could travel to Chesapeake. It was fun having some many teams from all over there.

Just to clarify, the issue with your bumpers at Chesapeake had nothing to do with entanglement. The issue is that all part of your bumpers must fit within the bumper zone, 1" to 7" off the floor. Those using bumper covers that are loose are easily extending beyond those limits. If you go on the field that way, you are inviting a penalty for violating the robot rules.

We used the AndyMark bumper covers. Due to our dimensions, they were tight and fit very nice. The only modifications we made were the velcro ties. We added a bunch more to better fit our needs. They aren't easy to throw on if they are full as they should be, but three of us could do them without issue.
