B. Alternately, the ROBOT may use changeable BUMPER covers. The BUMPER covers
− may be removable, reversible, or fixed
− must completely enclose the BUMPERS
− must show only a single color such that when the BUMPER covers are in use, only fabric of the assigned ALLIANCE color may be visible.

I guess this is in reference to ideas similar to team 2040 where you sew both colors together and just flip one over to change colors. Good to know.

I wish we weren't so expeditious in making our bumpers. They're done, and now the GDC rules that DERTy bumpers are the way to go.
Congrats 2040 - hope this nets you a design award at BMR.

Am I the only one that noticed the addition of the Batteries + Half of Anderson connector exception that got everyone all up in arms last year?

[EricH]

I saw that too, and said, "Oh, they must have learned from last year."

I saw that too, and said, "Oh, they must have learned from last year."

I would venture to wager (and I never wager), that members of the GDC learn as much, if not more, than anyone who participates in the game challenge - every year.

Actually one of my teams mentors reasked that question to the q and a forum. they mustve forgotten about it.

That was sort of what I figured. They forgot to put the rule in, and someone reminded them of last years stupidity, so they fixed it.
