Re: Instead of changing bumpers

The truly simplest way would be to use RGB LED strips in highly visible locations. We originally planned to do this in 2015, but decided to use the colors as a "heads up" display for the driver.

Color-change LCDs embedded in the bumper fabric would be cool, but probably too expensive.

Flags are easy, and were done before (see R17 in chapter 4 of the 2008 rules). And OBTW, HOW they would fit in with the teaser video!
