I have no problem with bumpers. They are kind of a pain to make, but they do their job and the red/blue/number thing makes it so much easier to figure out which robot is which, and which alliance it's on.

We've never had any inspection issues with them at all. We do our best to figure out just what the GDC really wants (it is very simple as I see it), we don't try to do anything fancy, and it works out fine.
