They do allow for some customization, but still put all teams on an equal playing ground. The previous years bumper rules simply stated that they had to be soft so that you could hit them and not get hurt. Well different teams have different pain threshholds so to speak, and therefore there were a bunch of different designs. These are customizable in that you are allowed to leave opening for ball gathering etc, as well as being able to choose different colored fabric to cover them, so they can still match your robot.
