Nice Bumper Numbers?

[chris.boyle]

Iron on numbers. Covered the bumpers without numbers and then removed the staples on the bottom to allow the numbers to be ironed on. When they cooled, they were re-stapled while trying to get the numbers back in the center of the bumper.

IMHO, the best looking bumpers are the ones that have tight fabric over them. They just look neat and clean and give the robot a finished look.

We have used t-shirt transfer material from office max for the past two years, just print your numbers on, cut out, and iron on.

This year I got a vinyl cutter in my classroom and we used that to cut white vinyl. Same effect, but no more hand cutting. Any local t-shirt shop should be able to handle this for a small fee or may even donate it as it takes all of 5 minutes.

We have ours prepared by our signage sponsor and adhered directly to the bumper material. The numbers are printed with a background that closely matches the color of the bumper's material. They stand out well and hold up well. We have some extras made to keep in the pits in the event we have to replace them during competition.

Pretty sweet, looks like a race car!

We're fortunate enough to have a master painter from BAE Systems as one of our lead mentors. Give him a brush and a can, he'll give the numbers that human touch.

We use sail repair cloth. It's very durable, gives a nice clean line, and only need to be cut out with scissors and stuck onto the bumper. No issues at all with it coming off.

This year we cut numbers out of white cordura and sewed them on.
