Re: Reversable Bumpers Illegal?

According to the Q&A, velcro on the hard parts IS LEGAL!

Game Manual - Robot » Bumper Rules
Q798 Q. Followup to Q785: Many teams have been assuming bumper construction was similar to the past 5 years when hook and loop was allowable to make reversible bumpers. It seemed reasonable enough that RoboPromo is supplying COTS reversible that are illegal per Q785. Would hook and loop in the "hard parts" portion of the bumper be acceptable? If not, there may be a lot of teams that don't notice an obscure Week 5 Q&A and show up with illegal bumpers and no good way to fix them.

A. Yes, hook and loop on hard parts of the BUMPER are permitted. R21-D and R27 will be edited in Team Update 10 to accommodate this. Thank you for your question.
