If you have a gap of 16 inches between the split numbers, and your robot is partially obscured by a field element or other robot so that I can't see the other two digits (but can see the gap), then you have ambiguity.
8" of bumper plus the corner space of 3.25" is 11.25 of space. At .5" stroke, with 1" gap between digits, that only takes about 9". And there is a .75 stroke font we created and used last year that also fit nicely on a minimal bumper. It is free to use for any team:

The teams who have the best chance at success are the ones who know where they can save time and money on machining by using or using part of some premade equivalent.
