Mind you, at least we're all working to the same parameters... and the different coloured bumpers wouldn't make provisions for the lane counter, which will matter, I think.

That is what we did last year. It wasn't that bad, only took about 5 minutes to change bumpers. This year we are designing it to be faster. We aren't sure where we are going to place the ugly stick at this year.
