In my opinion, the coolest thing on 1511's bot was our bumpers! They were made out of recycled team pants. We had a problem buying our supply of red camo fabric so we got permission to cut up our old cargo pants and use the fabric. Our seamstress extraordinaire pieced them together (reinforced seams and all) and then recut the fabric for the bumpers!
Here is Shelley and her pile of pants!
