Re: We'd like an expert's opinion on our current bumper setup.

Cause as is depending upon how you orient it you can read the team number as 6636 or 3666.
See the blue box below R28, "There is no prohibition against splitting Team numbers onto different sections of BUMPER." That's all they did here - split it into 36-66. The slight ambiguity you mention when looking at the corner of the robot is, I think, why the GDC made splitting numbers illegal a few years back, but teams REALLY didn't like that, and they decided to go back to making it legal.

Personally, my team always puts the entire number on one bumper segment to avoid that, but what they did here is still legal.
