Bumper Mounting
We have a design decision to make with respect to the mounting of the bumpers this year. Our robot has a couple of bumps on the outside of our frame which are less than 1/2" tall and fit well within the allowed robot width. We either need to put a couple of small pockets in the 3/4" inch plywood to allow it to rest against our frame or we need to put in some vertical spacers and space the bumpers off of our frame and over the top of the bumps. In the end pocketing the plywood will result in bumpers that are more rigid and structurally secure (consistent with the intent of the bumpers in general), but we do not want to take a path that will result having to remake the bumpers at the competition. Thank you for your consideration.
