Go to Post Hall of Fame FIRST Team 254 has arguably helped more teams become good than any other team in FIRST. I don't think they need a lecture on helping their opponents. - Karthik [more]

Re: How many people like bumpers?

I like the bumper rule.

We had bumpers on last year - unfortunately many robots did not. Those without bumpers had some incredibly sharp corners that they were slamming around - I saw aluminum shielding punctured by the corners of some of the robots.

We spent a decent amount of time sewing bumpers back together because those same robots literally "shredded" the material - and that isn't easy material to shred.

With all robots having bumpers on the same level, racing should be reasonable good this year.

I just hope they penalize "wheelie" bots for popping wheelies which move the bumpers out of position. One of those wheelie bots spent a great deal of time "landing" on top of our bot last year and really did a number on it.
