pic: Bumper idea - legal?

[Cynette]

Absolutely! It was fun with the first weigh-in for our team. We put the red covered bumpers on the scale and the inspector said, "I need to see the blue ones, too." One of our team mentors, who was standing there, turned to a team member and said, "Go get the blue bumpers." The team member got a very confused look on his face. He turned to go and then turned back and said, "Wait, we only have one set!" Then it was the mentor's turn to look confused!

Our only problem with them was in Atlanta when the robot hooked on the robot gate with the bumper with enough force to pull the velcroed flap open to expose the other color. The drive team made sure to take an extra few seconds after that to make sure the cover was pulled tight and the velcro pieces aligned. Compared to some of the saggy bumper covers we saw, the two sided ones were much more elegant!
