Re: Pnumatic bumper

The line of questioning seems a bit silly to me, I assume your new or simply not conveying your idea well, because "bashing" another robot typically would be taken as intent to damage, and if you don't intend to do damage (where you are coming back towards the realm of legality), what you are describing would be similar to using your frame and bumpers.

Even an appendage wrapped in bumper material is still very likely to cause damage if it isn't hitting something else covered in bumper material (and rigid), since you want it to have enough power to push robots.

In general, just about the only thing that will reliably push a robot's drivetrain, is another robot's drivetrain, building an appendage to do that doesn't make sense because you can just use the robot itself for that.
