Re: numbers on bumpers

This may be more relevant to last year (due to the low friction), but couldn't the bumper numbers be a competitive advantage? For example, if I'm a defensive robot that needs to 'stick' to an offensive robot, wouldn't I want my bumper number to have a high friction? Is there anything stopping a team from using stickum for their bumper numbers? There were a lot more times last year where teams got pinned against the driver station and the bumpers than against the rail, so it does make a difference.

If any team decides to use stickum, they better name their robot after Lester Hayes
