Just hope that they don't misinterpret and send Bovine Intervention onto the other alliance...

Nah, doesn't violate <R15> - that says "at least" 4 inches.

But it would violate <R07> because the BIG ONES would become part of the BUMPER, and then the BUMPER would be outside the BUMPER ZONE.

The BIG ONES always elevate the gameplay and keep everyone is suspense.

Yep, those are the ONEs. You can't imagine how hard it is to keep them straight.

Ummm, don't you mean "Holy Cow!!!"?

At least Wildstang has it easy to realign the numbers if their robot flips over!

Re: Bumper Color

On the topic of numbering bumpers... (Only because I'm not good with puns)

816 has embroidered their bumpers for the last two years and they hold up very well. We have access to a Computer Controlled Embroidery Machine that makes quick work of our bumper markings at our school - you can probably find a local company that'd be willing to do them for minimal cost. Usually places that deal in custom sports gear have the capability to do this.

If anyone would like to see what I'm talking about, just look at pictures of either 816's 2008 or 2009 robots.

Re: Bumper Color

Al, You could always try to do tyed-sye fabric with different shades of blue and white for the blue bumpers, and same for the red. :D And maybe do white numbers outlined in black. (Just a suggetion.)

I'm windering though, if some teams may go through another company for expense-saving and it would be a different shade? Or is it actually required for this one site?

Re: Bumper Color

There are at least 2 mail-order companies with Cordura, and they have slightly different colors. There is no official sponsor/supplier of fabric.

As long as your red isn't pink or purple, and as long as your blue isn't light sky-blue or so dark navy as to look black, you should meet the "reasonable" color match criteria. At least in my reasonable opinion.

That's what I mean, what if the blue alliance comes on the field with like, a sky blue, another cornflower blue, and then a navy blue?

I think it'll be pretty obvious that the Blue Alliance will not be Red.

Yes well, I am Captain Obvious. But would it matter then?
