Re: Bumper Rule

With a give maximum sized robot of 38" x 28" giving us:
((38*2) + (28*2)) = 132" perimeter

2/3 of 132" = 88"

Technically I guess you can only cover 88" worth of sides if you wanted to.

Some people tend to cover just 3 sides of their robots so using the 2 most basic configurations of robot design...

1) 38+38+28 = 104" of Bumper (38" Sides & 28" Rear)

or

2) 28+28+38 = 94" of Bumper (28" Sides & 38" Rear)

In configuration 1, you are good.

In configuration 2, you are good as well.
