Re: Bumper covers, two bumpers sets or reversible bumpers?

We love reversible bumpers. True, they take longer to make, but they're a great example for the students of how a little extra effort upfront can save a lot of effort down the road. It's also a nice, contained engineering problem for them to reproduce them and make sure they look good each year.

Personally, I'd love to see the bumper rules expanded to allow bumpers to be reused from one year to the next... then investing on a set of nice reversible bumpers would give you something great for several years in a row!
