I prefer aluminum-colored bumpers, made of aluminum. :cool:

Anyone have a shot of Wildstang's vanity bumpers? I think those are tie-dye :D

I'm going to go with blue. It goes better with our team colors of green, black and white. It's not much of an issue, though. Our bumpers are reversible and we can switch colors in about 15 seconds.

With a few dents, dings, and scratches in random places for character, I presume?

Ah, the good old days before bumpers were required things.

Today's robots just don't come home with battle scars like they used to.

I clearly remember (and Travis might too, since he was there to watch it happen) 1075's 2004 robot at the Wonderland Invitational offseason getting rammed head-on in Autonomous, bending the frame by about 2" to rub on the tire hard enough we couldn't move. 5 minutes with a sawzall to remove the offending chunk of frame before the next match and we were back in business, going on to later win that event, together with 1241 and 1114 (predating 1114's immense strength -- 1114 was the 16th pick!).

...crudely painted with a cheap can of bright paint from the Home Depot so you can trade it with your on-field opponents.

We go with red, though now I am inclined to telling our team to make a set of "bragger" bumpers with some good artwork like palm-trees, red and black! Maybe we could have individually addressable LEDs to allow cool lighting effects! I'd be gazing at it, chanting "Shiny..." like a zombie that found it's brain!

Blue; I like to be the underdog.

Alliance 6 FTW: the only alliance that wears blue all three rounds.

I think it would make more sense that i would prefer the blue bumpers, but i think the Red bumpers look awesome in contrast with our blue robot.
