Re: Never Do This, and Other Good Ideas Gone Bad
This is more of a bad idea gone bad but it certainly applies to the side topic of team numbers on bumpers. In 2007, 1766 forgot to have our numbers on our bumpers and had to improvise at the competition. Going pit to pit we found a team that had some paint and got permission to borrow it. We cut a stencil out of paper and cardboard and went outside to spray it on. In the end I held the bumper with one hand while spraying with the other. My arm had orange on it for the rest of the competition. I would give credit to the team that gave us the paint but I can't remember the number. It was a tiger themed team at the buckeye regional in 2007 if anyone else recalls the number.
My point to all this is that there is always a worse way of doing things. I never once thought of a sharpie and immediately went looking for paint.
