Bumpers

Thanks for the input. Yes we can put the plywood on, possibly attatch that to bot. The pool noodle has already been ordered but just isnt on its way yet. Thanks again. Now I will start reading the rule book so i can hopefully be as smart about all these rules as some of you are

[Jon Stratis]

If all you're waiting on is the pool noodles, then stick the fabric (pre-cut to the correct shape/size), plywood, and all attachment bracketry in your bag. Bring the pool noodles in whole, and cut them to size when you get to competition.

Since the pool noodles will be unmodified when you walk in the door, they will not count towards your withholding allowance (they aren't fabricated parts, per R26).

bhhs,
You can bring the bumper parts with you as raw materials and construct the parts into your bumper system at the competition.

[Retired Starman]

Or you can bag all the fabricated parts that you now have, such as your plywood, brackets. bolts, etc. Bring your noodles and cloth with you. You have all day Thursday to assemble and cover your bumpers. It shouldn't take too long for a couple of students to do while you are getting the rest of the robot ready for inspection.
