Re: What color bumpers do you prefer?

Blue.

We were blue before bumper color meant anything. Note how we're on the red alliance here:

We prefer red, because we're on fire. Simple, really.

Re: What color bumpers do you prefer?

Being our team's color, right now, definitely blue.

Of course, not exactly opposed to being red in elimination matches though...

Re: What color bumpers do you prefer?

Blue, even though red normally means a higher seed in eliminations blue bumpers have always seemed, in my mind at least, to match with our robots better. Not to mention that our school and team colors are blue and white

Re: What color bumpers do you prefer?

Red. We typically make the bumpers blue and our bumper cover red, so the robot has 14 more ounces of low-seated weight (at least last year it did, anyway).

Plus (in most cases), we would rather be in the higher seeded position.

Re: What color bumpers do you prefer?

Our team colors are orange and white, so red kind of clashes. We prefer blue for that reason

Re: What color bumpers do you prefer?

Our team colors are red and gold, so red is usually the favored color. However both red and blue look nice on the silvery color of aluminum that our robots are, so we don't mind either way.

Being Code Red Robotics, (2771, NOT 639 ) we prefer red bumpers. All the time.

Re: What color bumpers do you prefer?

It's really quite amazing what people will find time to talk about in the month before kickoff. Anyway, we usually go with blue since it's our secondary color. That set seems to stay in better shape as well, since our bumpers always end up looking a bit tired by the end of the season.

Re: What color bumpers do you prefer?

The poll is flawed. What about the teams that make "demo" bumpers in some other color? I really like the Robonauts' gold-on-white ones. The TechnoKats used black vinyl bumpers on one a recent practice 'bot. I imagine someone on 1024 has considered making bright yellow ones at some point.
