Heads up: your bumpers as shown here are ILLEGAL as per rule <R35>.

<R35>: 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.

A. Rule [R35] requires that the team number be displayed in four locations, no more or fewer.

Your bumpers appear to feature your number five times.

I guess at the competition we will just staple some extra fabric over one side. Shouldn't be too hard. When I checked in with the bumper team, they were already painting the numbers on the second side so I figured it would not be a problem to have extra numbers and we could deal with it later if there was a problem. I guess the GDC has some reason that you can not have more than four.
