I'd disagree with that decision considering the changes to the bumper rules this year. Particularly how they no longer count toward your withholding allowance and don't need to be included in the robot bag. Besides, the bumpers wouldn't give them any sort of competitive advantage beyond allowing them to work on their robot instead of their bumpers like any other team. Many teams made their bumpers at home after build season ended, so I don't see an issue here.
