Seconded. Rather than having pages of rules on how bumpers can be built, why not have a bumper kit in the KOP? That should prevent a ton of teams having illegal bumpers, and teams showing up Thursday having to build their bumpers at competition.

I miss custom bumpers, too. For me, this picture says it all: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/34912

However, I do like that the red/blue bumpers made it very easy for the audience to tell which alliance the robots were on, and that they encouraged quick-change attachment methods. Plus having only two bumper colors makes a KOP bumper kit feasible.
