All of these robots have bumpers, and these things still happen just because two U shaped objects can fit together.

At midwest in a qualification match we had a run in with 1114, and we left with a tiny ripple in a piece of .030 lexan, and their sheet metal didnt look as pretty. That was quickly repaired even though it didnt impede functionality of anything.

Us(1625) and Wildstang learned that lesson on thursday during a practice match together, as we both left the match with matching front supports significantly bent in.
We were very thankful to 1114 for destroying our collector with a head-on collision on Thursday at Midwest! We should have known better, but that practice match just proved the point - if you think it may break, construct a stronger back-up! 'Thank Dean' for an awesome on-site machine shop and a volunteer crew willing to work with us.

That Milwaukee finals collision with Fondy Fire.. holy smokes! I can't believe either team came back in less than 6 minutes!!! I literally saw bot parts fly into the payload specialist's tub!
