Re: pool noodles

The rules in previous years around bumpers are pretty prescriptive:

Quote:

use a stacked pair of approximately 2 ½ in. round, petal, or hex “pool noodles” (solid or hollow) as the BUMPER cushion material

Think carefully about using substitutes, particularly ones that don't look like pool noodles or have substantially different physical properties. You may end up needing to "sell" them to the inspectors at the competition.

I hate working on bumpers at competitions.
