Re: Bumpers and Team Number

[R35]
Quote:
Teams shall display their team number on the Bumpers in four locations at approximately 90° intervals around the
perimeter of the Robot. The numerals must be at least 4 in. high, at least ¾ in. in stroke width, and be either white in
color or outlined in white. Team numbers must be clearly visible from a distance of not less than 100 ft, so that judges,
referees, and announcers can easily identify competing Robots.
Do you interpret "four locations" to mean "exactly 4 - no more, no less"?

Our team is building a U-shaped rectangular frame, opening in the middle of the front (which is 27"). I think it would look good to put our team number on both sides of the front opening, as well once each on the left, right, and back, for a total of 5 numbers. I believe this meets the spirit and intent of the rule, "...so that judges, referees, and announcers [and spectators] can easily identify competing Robots." (I added the part in italics).

I've just signed up for the Q&A, but apparently I need to wait before I can post a question. When I click the "Team Questions" tab, it says "Your request is in pending state".
