and yes- this is ridiculously picky about a trivial item with nothing to do with the function of the game and represents just one more "gotcha" kind of thing for the kids to worry about. If there needs to be one exact set of specs for everything why don't we just get a prefab kit so the FIRST people will get the exact design they develop the rules for. It would save them the money for the Xerox Creativity Award.

Actually, having a prefab kit for bumpers come in the KOP would be pretty handy. Or you know, getting rid of bumpers all together.
While I agree it is a trivial nit-picky type thing the rules clearly state it. I think many inspectors are being too lenient with bumper colors and contrast this year though. I have seen blue bumpers that I swear were black. I also saw bumpers that there was no contrast between the numbers and the bumper color. Im sorry but it really isn't that hard to make sure your numbers are easy to read and your bumpers are the right color.
