Re: <R07>E Bumper clarification

Bumper backing can be exposed, but facing towards the robot. Does this need to be covered?

My definition of exposed would be if the plywood is visible when the bumpers are installed on the robot. Our current bumpers have quite a but of exposed plywood on the side facing our robot. They are supported in the back by a piece of 1" tall plywood attached to a piece of 1x1 aluminum box. The brackets holding the bumpers in place are fairly small and the fabric currently only wraps around about 1-1.5" around each edge leaving between .5" and 1" of backing I would consider exposed on either side of the supporting frame member.

I agree with your conclusion, but am not fond of taking risks when it comes to inspection. Safer to ask the question and find out the answer now.
