These solid polyethylene (PE) closed cell foam noodles are great for building bumpers for the FIRST® Robotics Competition.
This foam outperformed all other tested options when paired with a backing of Soft Tiles. See our testing document below for more specifics.
A rough estimation is that about 6-8 pool noodles are used for 1 set of bumpers depending on robot size, with each noodle being ~47 in. long. Noodles are required to be purchased in multiples of 8. Read the robot rules to ensure you understand how to create legal bumpers based on this year's rules.
