Re: Bumper Material

I think it is time to revive this discussion. Has anyone come up with a better bumper fabric material that they would care to share?

We're experimenting with sailcloth now. We're also looking into embroidering the numbers rather than painting them.

I'm curious to see what revisions FIRST makes to the rules this year for bumpers. They need to be easier for rookie teams to implement and for veteran teams to assist with. We advocated to Andy to make some corner brackets to make them easier to build. He had a prototype at CMP that was pretty cool but no word yet on whether they will be building it or teams will be able to buy it. I'm hoping for it personally.
