BUMPER PROBLEM!

[chraezyaz]

I know people have been freaking out over an issue with bumpers, and I just discovered our team has the same problem. Using the frame and 8" rubber threaded wheels that came with the KOP, our bumpers, when attached to the frame, are 3" above the ground.

1) Are any other teams having this same problem? How are you solving it?

2) One of my students is thinking of adding a second layer of robot frame that is an inch higher than the old frame, and then mount the bumpers on THAT frame. I'm posting this second question only because he keeps pestering me about it. The logic doesn't make sense because is the bumper is on this "outer layer" then either A: we have some lower frame perimeter exposure or B: if the bumper covers both inner and outer layers, then isn't the bumper once again 3" off the ground?


HELP PLEASE! I'm the only mentor for the team, I'm new, and am completely losing my mind! I got these logins from the old mentor who left the school.
