Bumpers are exempt from the witholding allowance. They may be put in the robot bag, or brought separately. There is no requirement that they be bagged, just properly constructed, cover 8" from every corner, and weigh no more than 20 pounds. Many teams (including 3946) bag or box the withholding allowance to simplify check-in, but that is not an actual requirement, either.
