Re: Bumper Design

We put C-shaped brackets on the back, sized to fit neatly over the frame rails with no slack. We drill a vertical hole all the way through each bracket and rail. Then we put a clevis pin or hitch pin through to lock it and latch the pin so it doesn't fall out if the robot is inverted or takes an upward hit to the bumpers. Solid connection, rapid installation and removal (as long as we put each bumper assembly on the correct side for the holes to line up).
