Skunkworks (1983) has been using this idea for three years now and have never had a problem in inspection. They work wonderfully and they come in handy on the Fourth of July when we show BOTH red and blue at the same time...alternating bumpers......

Find any picture of one of our robots from 2010,2011, 2012 and you will see these... I encourage more teams to use it....

Less to haul around.... less materials to waste every year...

works and looks great...

see you on the field!!

Amazing bumpers

This idea is pretty much what we did last year. It worked out great since we didn't have to fiddle with taking bumpers on and off. The changeover could be accomplished in a few seconds.

2075 has been using this for 4 years, no problems with inspection!

It may be more effort to make bumpers using this design than it is to make 2 sets... but the amount of time saved in the pits changing bumpers is definitely worth it!

It only took one instance of showing up to staging with the wrong color showing to convince me of how awesome reversible bumpers are. 10 seconds later we were correct.

We're never going back to separate bumpers ever again.

We made bumpers like these last year with great success

How the heck did you design that???? It looked like the red side was connected at one end. I'm completely confused .

It took a while to design and build, but saved us a lot of time and trouble at San Diego and championship. My mom is a good seamstress! We were thinking about making a tutorial on how to design and build them. (Maybe after build season, this year's hard!)
