Re: Bumper Design
Our robot is made out of extruded aluminum for the chassis. We slide bolts into the front and side, then put a piece of angled aluminum on the back of our bumpers. We slide the things on with the right colors, then use home-made long bolts with a hexagon head, tightening it down with ratchets. They have never come off.
Another hint, to save time with swapping bumpers one year, we made bumpers with a flap in the middle. If we were red, it was one way. When we went to blue, we simply unvelcroed the flap, and put it to the other side, showing blue.
