Product Overview
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" 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.

The best ever!
After years of trying different noodles, of various dimensions, both hollow and solid, we have found these to be the best. Though we have not yet tested them in a season of play, our anticipation is that they will hold up very well, much better than the sorry, compressed noodles of years past now found in the flattened bumpers taking up space in our shop.
