Team Driven 1730 Reveal

The "pegs" that attach the bumper to the frame are solid blocks of steel with absurdly large hardware to hold it all together. Nothing illegal that we know of. Like jspatz1 said we aren't putting a ballast in the bumpers, just over constructing them within bounds

So I understand why you guys did it. But how are you liking having your shooter facing perpendicular to your robot's driving direction? Are your drivers handling it okay? 1405's 2012 robot had the same set-up, and I was not a fan. I felt it made driving a little counter-intuitive.

I personally like a lot. It seems easier to realigned to a target if the first shot is off. It does get a little tougher lining up with the feeder station but after a batteries worth of driving and trying different possible ways to pull up to the feeder station I finally got it figured out. I haven't found any big issue besides the feeder station one yet. So no big complaints.

Like Luke said, it's a lot of personal preference, but I tend to find it easier to evade being defended since you can strafe instead of having to realign a shot every time
