Alright I know no one wants to see this thread brought back up but the GDC has cleared up some of the issues with another short and sweet response.

Q . R21 C states that teams should use a pair of 2.5" pool noodles. Does that requirement refer to the pool noodle's size when on the robot, the pool noodles size when purchased, or both? Is compressing pool noodles legal?
A. 1) Both. 2) No.

That's not the way I have read the rule over the past couple years, but it's entirely valid and the way it will be enforced.
A follow up question to the initial question about securing pool noodles using gaffers tape has still not been answered.
