Re: Is this legal (Bumpers)?

Brandon,
As Mike Betts has pointed out, the drawing on this page does fulfill the rule of a "fully supported along it's length by robot structure". With the hits we will experience, damage to the bumper and robot could be minimized with a better support behind the bumper. A team needs to consider the risk of having a bumper dislodged, broken off or a robot damaged in the design of the entire robot. If you are asking "Is it legal?" the answer would seem to be yes. (based on drawing only) If you are asking "would you do something different?" then yes I would back it up with more frame structure.
