Will Your Team Use Bumpers This Year?

If mentors don't respect the students' desire to learn and take an active role in the construction, they're missing the point of FIRST. If students refuse to accept the knowledge and experience of the mentors, that's not independence - it's arrogance. - DB213parent [more]

Re: Will Your Team Use Bumpers This Year?

1885 will not use bumpers.

However, since we're still using aluminum axles in a WCD setup, we will make wheel guards out of 2x1 to protect our axles from inadvertent clipping of a tote because the totes don't like to move on carpet. This has nothing to do with driver skill or other robots and everything to do with how a bent axle would impact our performance.
