Re: Bumpers and Magnets

I think there are ways to do this and make it work very well.

Magnetic jigs can get some really good contact forces.

But do make sure that you "get it right"... expect your inspector to "vigorously" test a novel bumper attachment system. Then get the judges to give them a pull so you can show off your innovation, and explain why your new design is better than the old one.

Just make sure it works... it isn't better if it doesn't work!
