Re: Bumper Material
Team 1126 used a combination of sailcloth bumpers on the side with cordura on our front and back bumpers. This allowed us to use friction to our advantage to pin and escape from a pin. We also use the reversible bumpers (blue on one side, undo some velcro and flip it to red).
We changed our bumper material between events and saw a noticeable difference in our ability to get through defense. If anyone has any questions let me know!

you know your team has respect from teachers when classes start waving projects during build season saying you get full credit if the robot ships. - Peck [more]
