Clarification on New Bumper Rules and Reusing Them

[Apachebot]

Thanks for the quick responses, everyone. I think I'll just drop bumpers from the conversation, since I didn't get the idea that I could convince my teammates that they were necessary anyway. We have better things to worry about, like building a fresh chassis (for some reason, we were under the impression they could be used wholesale and did not prepare any materials to build a new one.)
On a related note, the rules I believe still stated that the team numbers had to be displayed? Does anyone have any suggestions for mounting numbers to a raw chassis?
