Bumpers

[Cartwright]

I think that bumpers will definitely be needed a lot during the game. Unless everybody is going to design their chassis based on stress management then, robot chassis will be very beat up by the end of a just a few rounds. With robots trying to race around a track as fast as possible, people are very very likely to bump. I also hope that people have more than one speed because trying to "lightly bump" to move ahead will turn into collisions if everybody is going at top speed.

Does anyone know if any teams have ever used bumpers on a flat plate drive system? If so how are the bumpers attached.
