2177 CAD for 2023 Release

We’ve had plenty of interest from local teams for our MAXSwerve covers (and have shared those with them when asked!). They worked great, and even held up to a robot driving right over them. Simple 2-part print superglued together, with some nice branding on them.

As much as I dislike reversible bumpers^, that stitching and assembly looks immaculate.

Honestly I am here for the bumper pictures now :slight_smile:

^dragging fabric and bumper longevity issues as the noodles see 2x wear

Can’t argue with any of that, other than to say that I don’t think we had any dragging issues. We tend to go back and forth on bumpers - reversible last year, but two sets the year before. Reversible take a lot longer to make, but we’ve always struggled with alignment issues when we do 2. I think we might be past the alignment issues with the Plummer Industries bumper mounts though, they worked great (along with full use of our CNC machine) last year.

We had a couple of students that spent a LOT of time on those bumpers last year, and some great mentors who taught them how to sew properly :). During our team retreat this year, we spent some time teaching everyone on the team to sew, adding pockets to their school-required skirts - it’s definitely a good skill for everyone to have!
