And I still don't understand everyone's dilemma about the bumpers. Cover all your corners on the robot perimeter with at least 6" of bumpers on either side of corner vertex. Must cover at least 66.67% of robot perimeter (string method) with bumpers. Leave opening for trailer hitch, so trailer makes bumper-to-bumper contact. Mount at correct height and fabricate according to instructions.
Unless I'm missing something, it's not that hard to figure out.

What defines the length of the bumper? My team was thinking about angling the bumpers near our "mouth" for taking in balls to give us a larger opening. does the section that is angled not count toward the bumper length/covered length? Also, imagine the two 6 inch bumpers at a 90 degree corner. If we beveled the bumpers to have them join (shown in the rule book) where is the 6 inches measured from?
