Re: changing bumper colours
We are planning on using a cover with velcro as well. Our debate is on which color should we use for the bumpers and which for the cover.
Our team colors are red and black (red camo). I though it would be good to have the base red so we wouldn’t have to worry at all about the cover for off seasons and demos – the robot would still be in our normal color scheme. But if we use the velcro, making the cover red and the base bumpers blue might be more attractive because the velcro won't be visible when the cover is on. So now I'm looking for red Velcro I can have the red bumpers pretty even when the Velcro shows on the back of them. |

Re: changing bumper colours
Yeah, your bumpers have to be the same colour as the aliance that you are apart of. So you should be able to quickly switch the colour of you bumpers.

Re: changing bumper colours
If you plan on using velcro, I would highly recommend the industrial strength stuff from Homedepot. We picked some up last year and that stuff is extremely strong!
Good luck! |

Re: changing bumper colours
Not against the rules to have their numbers in the camo, now is it?

Re: changing bumper colours
I did not say anything in the previous post about covering the entire bumper in the colors. Now did I?

Re: changing bumper colours
Where can you legally put the velcro? If you can put it on top and bottom of bumper,does it have to match that bumper color? Could you cut your numbers out of velcro for added holding power?

I envisioned having the soft part of the velcro on the bumper backs or top edges as needed, depending on how they are mounted. For aesthetics, I am trying to find a velcro to match the color. |

Re: changing bumper colours
That's what I am mulling over in my brain and will talk to our lead mentor about tomorrow. We have tie dyed our bumper fabric in the past and for demo purposes after the competition season, we would prefer to have the purple tie dye bumpers. I think the weight of the additional fabric will not be that much more, but it will need to be considered and factored in.

Re: changing bumper colours
For those using removable bumper covers, don't forget this rule as well:
<G41> a. Bumper covers must not detach, even unintentionally, from the ROBOT. Violation: PENALTY. |

Re: changing bumper colours
That's what I was thinking
seems like the thing my team will ignore until the last minute. |
