OK, make as much of your bumper as you can - the plywood at least - and bag that. They then don't count against the 30 lb allowance.

Surely you have plywood. If you have pool noodle, then why not consider a different cloth material for the bumper covers - anything heavy will do OK, although the 1000 Denier Cordura is really the best. I've seen teams use canvas, denim, and the like.
