RIs at every event would be really happy if teams with a little extra room in the truck could bring the bits to events to help teams make bumpers. Most events have a few bumpers worth of spare bits, but I expect the need to be higher this year.
If you have rookie teams in your area, and you know the bumper rules down pat, offer to visit and check compliance. Late in the season is better than at the first event!
