Re: Robot bumpers
I would encourage teams to look at the bumpers as a structural element. They can be more than protection and weight. Even a strong frame can take damage from a point impact. Hitting a wall is not the same as another un-bumpered robot hitting your unbumpered robot at high speed. Our 2006 robot has a nasty dent in the frame from ramp riot.
