I have watched 2 robots, without bumbers, have a full speed head on collision during autonomous mode during the practice rounds of Thursday. 1 of those 2 never fully recovered all of it's functionality.

Bumpers are good. They allow for more robot-to-robot interaction with less damage. This makes for a more exciting match, IMHO.
