Most have been putting them on just one side of the opening. I saw one team with them split apart, but I'm not 100% sure if it's legal.

[sprocketman92]

we were thinking about splitting it but had the same question if it was legal or not

[Garten Haeska]

I know for a fact it's not legal!

[sprocketman92]

Oh thanks we are putting the rest of our bumpers together tomorrow and we will put them on one side then

To verify the post above it is not legal to split the numbers as per a Q&A ruling:
A. Per [R35], team numbers must be clearly visible. This means that they may not be inverted, obscured, fragmented, upside down, etc.

keyword, fragmented.

Sorry I'm on my iPad and I'm unable to quote rules for some reason...

Very nice robot for a rookie team. You have much more features than our rookie team, hopefully the scoring will work nicely.

Excellent job! You certainly don't look like a rookie team with the great looking bot!

There are a couple of threads with info regading the numbers on the Bumpers, and how you can't split them, but I wanted to share a good white paper that is referenced in one of those threads, in the event it is a tight squeeze to get them on one side.

Good luck this season, although I don't think you're going to need any luck!

[sprocketman92]

Thank you its nice to hear that after what seems like the longest yet at the same time the shortest 6 weeks of my life lol

I really like your scoring mechanism. It looks very consistent. How about a video of the feeder?

See if I can quote my own post in another thread- - instructions about how to make some numbers for the short side bumper segments.

They have done a great job this year. They have made me a proud principal after a five year layoff from FRIST. WE started in Vex and slowly moved up to FRC after about 4 years. I can say that the kit makes it much easier than when I started Cyberblue. Great job eveyone. On to Boiler!
