Re: bumper noodles

Chris,
The round pool noodles are specified in the robot section 8. In the past when teams were able to prove that the round noodles were impossible to find, the GDC relented and allowed either the hex or the star shapes. You must ask the Q&A for a ruling this year before other shapes will be allowed. Yes, inspectors most definitely check the construction of the bumpers, the mounting and the hardware.
