Re: Color Coded Bumpers as Flag Replacements?
NOOOOO it would be such a pain to have so many bumpers. Our bumpers this year keep getting tore up or off by robots that don't have bumpers and I had to keep remake them. It would be such a pain to have to make at least 4 sets (1 set of each color for backup) of bumpers!!! And it would be even a bigger pain having to switch them between matches.

I do hate the flag system though. During the elimination matches in Davis, tubs got stuck on our best scoring alliance partner, TWICE!!!! And our other partner had to take time and remove them.
