Re: Bumper bracket and weight considerations
what's even worse is when you have a setup, and told from regional to regional that its legal, its not legal, and then its legal again (in terms of where the fasteners weight count towards).
We had different interpretations on whether the nut/bolt fastener counted either towards the weight of the bumpers or the robot which in situations caused us to not meet the 120 and or 15lb requirements.
The whole issue of using bumpers is to protect bots and some inspectors focus more on the wording than the purpose of having them mounted to your bot.
As just mentioned, I hope the rule(s) are revised. It was a pain taking the bumpers on and off.
Thanks for the idea on the clevis pin. If its allowed next year, we may try that.
