If we had 4 bumpers and built them exactly as the manual prescribes they would never be able to pass the weight test. Maybe our experts who write the manual should reexamine their weights and measures or give a more realistic range.

We ran into the same problem. we switched from a 1/8" thick angle to a 1/16" and we lost the weight

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
