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.

When I had the ear of an AndyMark engineer at this year's Global Community Conference I pushed hard for them to make an include a bracket system for the up coming season's chassis. He did say it was something that was worth consideration.

Those are for the old C-base and would not work with the most recent AM14U and since the 2015 drive base is reported to be the AM14U2 it seems unlikely they would work for it either.
