Re: Bumpers

Quote:
R26: Each ROBOT must be able to display Red or Blue BUMPERS to MATCH their ALLIANCE color, as assigned in the MATCH schedule distributed at the event (as described in Section 10.4.1 Schedule). BUMPER Markings visible when installed on the ROBOT, other than the following, are prohibited:
A. those required per R27,
B. hook-and-loop fastener backed by the hard parts of the BUMPER, and
C. solid white FIRST logos between 4¾ in. (~13 cm) and 5¼ in. wide (~13 cm) (i.e. comparable to those distributed in the 2017 Kickoff Kit).

R27: Team numbers must be displayed and positioned on the BUMPERS such that an observer walking around the perimeter of the ROBOT can unambiguously tell the Team’s number from any point of view and meet the following additional criteria:
A. consist of numerals at least 4 in. (~11 cm) high, at least ½ in. (~127 mm) in stroke width, and be either white in color or outlined in white
B. must not wrap around sharp corners (less than 160 degrees) of the FRAME PERIMETER
C. may not substitute logos or icons for numerals.
The rules do not allow anything like this. However, this one is at the Inspector's discretion. I imagine that the black markings would still allow both your red and blue bumpers to be "visible and unabmiguous" to any reasonably astute observer. But I still doubt it'd fly for inspection.
Why exactly are you unable to make your reversible bumpers cover the corners?
