I'm sure plenty of teams are doing a through-bumper intake, including my own. How you adapt your perimeter and design depends on your strategic objectives and current plans to fulfill such objectives. If we could get specifics, we can better help.

If all else fails, find a way to do an over the bumper intake, like several of the robots in 2012.

Best to know this now than at the inspection table at the competition!
