I would think that a package of items that has to be 5 feet long is something extremely rigid , because why on earth are you going to send teams home with something that cumbersome in a compact car unless you HAVE to?

The bumper thing is interesting. There have been dropped hints about what FIRST wants to change with bumpers for the 2015 season, but I think unless they just give everybody a physical pre-made bumper assembly, they're not going to get everyone to make them correctly.
