The GDC is correct - Tape (most often of the duct variety), shrink wrap, etc are not part of the official cross-section for bumpers - wood, pool noodles, cloth covering, optional angle on the top and bottom, and mounting hardware. I wonder how the GDC would respond to the same question regarding gaffers tape, though? Gaffers tape is classified as cloth, and I know I've borrowed a little from the field in the past to help teams do quick bumper repairs when needed (since the field usually has some red and blue available).

But now that that question is out of the way, I'd like to see the GDC address sagging bumper covers and get consistent ruling on those on the field. It's one of my personal pet peeves when it comes to robots.
