Unfortunately, those would constitute manufactured parts, at least the past few years. It would be lovely to be able to bring a nice supply of these and (similarly manufactured) 15.5" wide strips of red and blue cloth to provide for teams whose bumpers are not up to spec (or nonexistent). Cutting a 1x6" down to 5" in a pit sounds a lot more feasible than cutting a 5" strip from a sheet of plywood.
