There will always be teams that end up making robots that are short of their expectations, but when your bumpers are the only thing worth showing, the struggle is real!

I can imagine the scenario in the pits:

Judge: So, what part of your robot is your team most proud of, and why?

Student: The fabric. It's nice and soft. Wanna feel?

Judge: *touches bumper* Wow, it is. What's it made of?

Student: Dolphin fur. Imported from North Antarctica. Don't worry, it's tuna safe.

Re: Bumper sets, skirts, or reversibles?

We use reversible bumpers, mostly for the speed at which we can change them.
