The use of the color to determine the alliance was a great idea. I'd even like to see more specific shades of red and blue, no navy blue, no orange-red, just the proper colors. Perhaps the cloth could be put in the KOP to ensure consistency.

I'd add the requirement that the numbers be bright white as well. From my observations, most were already and were easily read. There were a few black-on-blue or blue-on-red combinations that were hard to read. White worked well. They dictate number size already, making white mandatory would help keep them legible.

If you want personality, decorate the rest of your robot. The bumper colors and legible numbers are a great improvement for fans in the stands and on webcasts.
i think the main motive behind the bumpers was the creation of an alliance indicator that would fit in the tunnel.

mandatory white would not be bad, but elimination of this year's bumpers would be better.
