Changing bumper colors

<R07>:
Quote:
H. BUMPERS must be designed for quick and easy installation and removal, to aid in weighing and inspection (as a guideline, BUMPERS should be removable by one person in less than ten minutes).

But,
Quote:
<T13> At the conclusion of a MATCH, all players shall remain in their assigned locations until the Head Referee issues the “field-reset” signal. Once the Head Referee issues this signal, the 3-minute “match-reset” period will begin. The ARENA must be cleared of ROBOTS from the MATCH just ended, and the ROBOTS and OPERATORS CONSOLES for the following MATCH must be placed in position and ready to start before the expiration of the “match-reset” period. Field Attendants will reset the ARENA elements during this time.
And,
Quote:
<T20> During the elimination rounds, if circumstances require an ALLIANCE to play in back-to-back MATCHES, they will be granted an additional minute of set-up time to reset and allow their ROBOTS to cool down.
(all emphasis mine)

Sometimes during the eliminations, alliances switch from being red to blue or vice versa, and have to play back-to-back. You'd better be able to change your bumper colors in 4 minutes or less.
