Re: Teams: Check Your Bumpers

I'm kidding, of course.
But seriously, why does FIRST need to this? It is so superfluous!
Tangent question (and this is just a thought, my team did not do this): Would one be allowed to securely/rigidly mount a piece of polycarbonate, or some mounted "plate" to the bumper, that actually extended past the 8 inches of bumper into the "U" area such that i could much more easily write out a number?
Just my thoughts, complaints, jokes, concerns, or something......

Perhas it is to prepare our students for the eventuality of a customer demanding something in the product that is completely superfluous and ridiculously unnecessary. Does that ever happen in real life?

Reffing a FIRST event is unlike being an ump or a ref at any other event. Where else is a game invented each year and over 1000 teams play this game within 3 months of its birth? - Andy Baker [more]
