Cordura Covering Question (Bumpers)

Hey everyone!

Im from team 2523 out of Northeast VT,

Our team instructor is insisting we have "hand holds" on the side of our robot, therefore our bumpers on the sides are really 3 discreet pieces of pool noodle covered only around the vertical axis by cordura.

To describe the cordura here's some ASCII

CUTAWAY(No cordura covering the sides, just wrapped around the noodles)

||--.
||[]|
||[]|
||--'
The two squares are the noodles.

SIDE (Cordura only covering the two noodles in the up/down fashion)
----------------------------
|0000| |00000| |0000|
----------------------------
0=Noodle
|000|= noodle cordura section
The sections in between are exposed plywood.

These side pieces are 36" long. (the size of the plywood backing)

We were wondering if these are legal.

Thanks!
