Re: Bumpers and Team Number

The minimum length of the bumper is 8 inches along the frame. Add in the thickness of the plywood and noodle, and you'll have 11.25 inches from the outside corner to the inside edge of the bumper.

The digits need to be 4 inches high, and 3/4 inch stroke width. There is no specification on the digit width, except that it must be clearly legible. So pick a simple font, don't put too much space in between digits, and it should fit. Our team is a 3-digit number, so we have room to spare. 4-digit teams will probably need to use almost all available space.
