Re: How many people like bumpers?

In general, I don't like the requirement. I understand why it's there, and what FIRST is trying to accomplish/prevent, but I still don't like it.

If bumpers were really as fantastic an idea as they are being made out to be then FIRST wouldn't have to make their use mandatory. The vast majority of teams last year choose not to use bumpers, and that's been true for every year since bumpers debuted, so there are clearly reasons to not use them. I imagine reasons range from lack of time, concerns about arrival and departure angles on ramps (albeit not an issue this year), and overall size.

Like I said, I get it. I know why bumpers are good. I just don't think they are good enough to have their use mandatory.
