thanks for the mention

2056 always has clean, crisp bumpers. IMHO they look better in blue than red. IIRC, they get the numbers screen printed directly onto the fabric.

254 has my vote. Every year their bumpers look phenomenal, especially in blue. Although it doesn't look like they did it this year, I love the embroidered numbers from previous years.

Can't compare at all with some of the slick bumpers in this thread. But it definitely makes me miss our red camo bumpers. Many a imagery awards were won thanks to those bumpers!

Thanks Eric! We did our best to make Knight Fury look as great as possible on the field this season.

Re: Greatest Robot Bumpers?
 

there they are! thanks

also, 4039's rainbow bumpers are absolutely gorgeous

Re: Greatest Robot Bumpers?
 

Surgical tubing bumpers are probably faster in my humble, totally unbiased opinion. Ours pull down from the top for blue (or bottom up for red) and take a second or two to switch the entire robot. They do suffer on one side, however, as there can be an awkward fold on your numbers. We took pictures almost exclusively in blue this year because it was difficult to read our number in red.

I don't know if I could necessarily pick a favorite set of bumpers (although I'm tempted to single out the gorgeous 148 black-on-blacks) but my favorites all follow the same trend. They all are very consistent with the team's branding; you can tell immediately what team they belong to without the actual number. 254, 1114, 33 and 118 are just a few that stand out to me (118 with the added bonus of having some gorgeous custom white/golds)

That's awesome. They remind me of the pair of denim bumpers we made this year. We only used them at our HQ, but they didn't last long. :D

I've always liked 3130's bumpers.

Re: Greatest Robot Bumpers?
 

1339's fuzzy bumpers were awesome.

Re: Greatest Robot Bumpers?
 

610 has nice bumpers. What I really love about them is the font that they use for the numbers.

I prefer 1986's italicized font on their bumpers. Makes them look sleek and simple.

Re: Greatest Robot Bumpers?
 

We told the rookie team we are mentoring "all good teams have good bumpers." They made these. I was impressed, to say the least.

(Both quotes from the same thread)

1114 had great bumpers on their reveal picture.

Re: Greatest Robot Bumpers?
 

Those are overwhelmingly crispy.

Did 254 and 1114 use sailcloth this year? We used the Andymark slick bumper material. It's garbage. It's about the same quality as those $1 disposable tableclothes, and I think that by the end of the year we had more duct tape than bumper fabric.
