While there is no specific specifications on fonts, other than the height and stroke width, please have mercy on the people sitting in the top row of the stands and watching the competitions on the internet, and don't get carried away with what you think is a cool font. Keep it plain and readable to the audience.
The place for fancyness is in the signage/decorations elsewhere on your robot other than the bumpers.

Right, and all of those are being kept in mind. Trust me, as one of the scouting coordinators on our team, I hate it more than anything if I can't see a team's bumper numbers on their robot. The intention for this is kind of aesthetic, but also to keep a consistent image of our team in the robot. We have an official font, and it should have a wide enough stroke to be seen from far away.
We could do iron-on bumpers, but we'd prefer to get our numbers done via steampress. The high school actually has a vinyl cutter that can take any font and cut the pattern out of vinyl, but we need to find a material that is heat transferrable. Does anyone know of any material that is heat transferrable and can be cut with a vinyl cutter?
