These "single-serving bumpers" were built to the 2013 FRC rules. I should have enough to give them away, as I see fit, for several years. I intend to give one to each rookie team that I can reach. Hopefully there won't be any rule changes!

Good goal. However, if you want to go further, prepare a bunch or backer boards, pool noodles, fabric, and fabric paint pens (white) already pre-cut to width (5" boards, 11-1/2" or so for the fabric) so that some bumpers could be rapidly assembled at events if they were needed. There are always one or two teams that miss something in the rules for the bumpers that probably cannot fix them at the event.
