Re: Bumper Rules
You do have a vertical piece of pool tube in the corner that sticks out in front of the plywood corner. There has been discussions about "U" shaped robots/bumpers that cover 2/3rd's of the robot with absolutely nothing in front of the leading edge. I am not the GDC, but I would say that you meet the intent of the rule if you cover three sides. The peril, if anything will be the front edge of your manipulator if it comes into contact with another bumper, field element, robot etc. and it is not protected. If you are questioned about plywood sticking out more than an inch from the corner, why not attached a piece of frame material on top of your existing frame behind the bumper to the edge of the plywood?
