I sometimes like to invoke what I call the "Rebagliatti rule"... if it's not performance enhancing you get to keep the medal.

I was surprised that the tech inspectors didn't require that "XBot" be covered with a piece of fabric... although considering that they allowed a few teams to compete with black numbers on blue bumpers, I'd say they extended similar courtesies on bumper numbering to other teams, so it was only fair to do the same here... but it made no difference to the outcome... a well deserved victory.

Good luck in Atlanta.
