Re: Brainstorm: Improving the FRC bumper rules
i've been the bumper maker for the past 3 seasons on my team, not only do i miss the personalization aspect, but the 2 color thing is just a pain. I made the mistake of making the colors switchable by flipping the fabric, but it was a slow and unreliable process. It actually took me 3 days to sew it all too!!!
I could have easily done one of the "skirts", but i foresaw ripping and snagging on other robots (which happened).
While its easy for me to find the materials in balmy California, my largest complaint is the color compliance (bring back the flags) and the frame perimeter. The first FIRST team that can send me a picture of legal bumpers with broken plywood because of another robot (again with standard bumpers) crashed into it will make me have a heart attack from suprise
