Re: Touchsensors in the Bumpers legal?
Also note that the bumpers and the frame behind it aren't allowed to be articulated. That's not to say you can't figure out a way for them to be firmly mounted yet still work as a sensor, but you need to think about what you want to measure.
Are you trying to measure impacts, or just touched vs not touched?
You could possibly use an IR sensor or a range finder near the bumper zone, or possibly through the bumpers with a carefully placed hole, though I doubt that it would be reliable through the bumper. (Also have to check if it is legal)
