Re: Bumper Material

We got our bumpers screen-printed this year and used the same fabric (a tougher, slicker alt to Cordura, no idea where it came from unfortunately) and the blue covers came back from Alamo just fine but the red ones were totally rekt from the rough play. No other issues.

We need to get new bumper material, but I don't want to dump money into bumpers in case any of the rumored changes come to pass.

Not buying into any conspiracies, just that bumpers are a very specific assembly in FRC and the cloth for them doesn't really serve a different purpose, and plywood and noodles aren't preferred building materials for other stuff on the robot.
