Re: Bumper Dimensions Question

The bumper zone that is void due to the presence of the hitch counts against your bumper coverage. The maximum coverage you are able to make with the bumper is:

Your Max Possible Bumper Length = (Robot Perimeter) - (Open zone for hitch)

So the max required bumper coverage needs to be:

(Required Coverage) = [2*(Robot Perimeter)]/3

If your bumper length is greater than or equal to (Required Coverage) you are good.

I think this should just about cover it.
