Re: Bumper Material

Team 1126 used a combination of sailcloth bumpers on the side with cordura on our front and back bumpers. This allowed us to use friction to our advantage to pin and escape from a pin. We also use the reversible bumpers (blue on one side, undo some velcro and flip it to red).

We changed our bumper material between events and saw a noticeable difference in our ability to get through defense. If anyone has any questions let me know!
