Re: pic: Bumper idea - legal?
Skunkworks (1983) has been using this idea for three years now and have never had a problem in inspection. They work wonderfully and they come in handy on the Fourth of July when we show BOTH red and blue at the same time...alternating bumpers......

Find any picture of one of our robots from 2010,2011, 2012 and you will see these... I encourage more teams to use it....

Less to haul around.... less materials to waste every year...

works and looks great...

see you on the field!!

1425 has something similar. You should be okay, just make sure to cover the corners.

We did this last year and made it through two regionals and CMP. Everyone was very impressed.

Re: pic: Bumper idea - legal?
People have thought of it. We, the High Tekerz, do exactly that with our bumpers. It certainly is legal (our mentor who happens to be a robot inspector made sure of that) and it saves a LOT of time and effort.

The OP was in 2010. It wasn't legal then.

My team did this settup last year, and it was a dream... Well-designed bumpers are SO worth it. Here's a video of them in action: http://youtu.be/DlyujQaTLlA

It was legal in 2010. This post was put in the Q&A to verify that it was.

Also we did this in 2010 and 2011 but I don't think we would do it again. As much of a pain as it is to make to sets of bumpers we realized that it takes less time and less skilled labor to make 2 sets. We also didn't like the way the velcro, used to allow the color change, never allowed the flaps to sit right.

Re: pic: Bumper idea - legal?
That is the exact bumper system we used last year, it passed inspection at all our events and was an awesome system, the drive team was able to change colors in the queing line in a matter of seconds!!

Re: pic: Bumper idea - legal?
This idea is pretty much what we did last year. It worked out great since we didn't have to fiddle with taking bumpers on and off. The changeover could be accomplished in a few seconds.
