Re: Going for 3 robots on Ramp?

My fellow mentor and I were just kicking the 3 on a bridge idea around at the office, and with the new bumper rules you should be able to buy back 6 inches of play.

If we can convince everyone to only put the minimum bumper on their wide sides, then you can stagger your robots on the bridge such that the bumpers will nestle inside each other. If two robots nestle into the middle robot then that is 6 more inches of play, keeping you from falling off the bridge.
