Re: [DFTF] Bumper Tips...

I'm going to assume that the first line of [R28] references Figure 4-5, despite it saying 4-4 (which figure is referenced by [R28-B], and illustrates that rule).

"Bumpers must be constructed as follows (see Figure 4-X)" is what the rule says. So, if we scroll down to Figure 4-5, the cross-sectional view of the bumper is shown. It shows the 1" limit for hard parts, the aluminum angle (optional), an example attachment method (TBD by the team), and the plywood (required). It also shows the cover (fabric type TBD by team within tough/smooth and color) and the pool noodles (size spec'd by section C).

What I don't see is anything (other than possibly fasteners, which are mounting-method dependent, and of course pool noodles) inside the fabric/plywood area. Does that mean it's not allowed? Not necessarily. Does that mean it's allowed? Not necessarily. So I think we're in limbo here until someone either a) asks Q&A or b) tries to pass inspection.
