I can't find any good pictures, unfortunately. In the back, we simply ran crossbars (1 inch square stock) over to the main frame of our elevator, several inches above the bumpers, and duct taped half a pool noodle on the bottom for cushion. In the front, we had a similar crossbar setup, but bolted a heavy duty handle to the top. This let use pick up the robot pretty easily form the side.
