Re: Team 5720 Bumper Question

I don't recall anything in the rules forbidding separate bumper segments, but we've always included an angle bracket of some sort at each corner to provide the best protection. Mitering the fabric around that corner is not terribly difficult to have it look decent, even without a single stitch (just staples). A continuous fabric around the corner is also much less likely to be torn away in a glancing blow at the corner.
