Sticking a "riot shield" outside your bumpers with the intention of negating the benefits of the bumpers and damaging other robots would earn you a G24, though!
The shield part was used because you are putting something on your robot defensively. My point here is that there are rules, this could be used as a work around, should it be patched out?
I'm not looking at this for a strategic advantage, I'm looking at it for safety. If it consistently isn't used and the overall consensus is that it would just be damaging why not just patch the rules and say yeah don't do the thing?
