It is taking FIRST a very long time to answer my simple bumper question in Q&A. While I can wait a little longer before I print numbers on bumpers, I can't keep waiting before I finalize on the robot design. Therefore I have decided to do the silliest thing and to let the bumper rule about size/stroke of the numbers decide how wide my front bumpers are just so we as a 4 digit team can fit our numbers onto the bumper. My front bumpers are now about 11.5 inches wide on each side which forced us to narrow our ball intake width.
