Re: Are the mandatory bumpers helping or hurting?
Bumpers definitely help prevent damage, I don't see how anyone can argue against that. The mandatory bumper rule has saved many more robots than it has hurt.
In my opinion, though, they shouldn't be a requirement for future years (but they should be very strongly encouraged!). My reason for this is: teams should be allowed to build robust bumper-less robots if they choose, it makes the overall size of the robot smaller and allows for more diverse and aesthetically pleasing robots. (lame reason, I know...)

I think that is important to note that winning teams have won without bending the rules. GP allows you to go ask, investigate and take pictures. Learn from others when you have the chance. - Al Skierkiewicz [more]
