Per rule R8:

B. Speakers, sirens, air horns, or other audio devices that generate sound at a level sufficient to be a distraction

I think rapping is allowed on the robot as long as it's not too loud.

But if they rap using only their voices? They can scream as loud as they want, I think.


Bumpers: The brackets can extend over or under the frame a bit to make it easier to attach to the frame. Our brackets 'hook' on to the bottom of our frame, and we use pins at the top to hook it there to hold it on tightly. The brackets (and pins) are part of the bumpers.

Just read the bumper rules very, very carefully and follow them religiously. As a robot inspector, I see far more bumper problems at competition than everything else combined.
