Fredi,
The robot looks great so far. If you are intending to place 6" of bumper on the internal, angled side then I think you are meeting the intent of the rule. However, the rule as written as a few wierd nuances that may get you in trouble.

Here is what I suggest:

1. Write another Q & A showing the exact picture of your robot with bumpers on all sides you intend to place them.

2. In the Q & A clarify theat the bumpers are all made per the BUMPER rules (plywood, etc.)

3. Specifically ask if the BUMPERS on the angled internal sides are considered BUMPERS or not. Ask if they will be considered in the robot weight or BUMPER weight.



What troubles me is that the bumpers on the internal sides are not really legal BUMPERS becasue they are not mounted to the BUMPER Perimeter. My question is how can you cover all corners with legal BUMPERS if one side of the corner is not part of the BUMPER PERIMIETER?

Good luck with getting clarification. WE decided to go traditional wide body becasue we do not have the patience to deal with non-answers from the GDC on such a mundane subject such as bumpers.

Paul
