These are the Actual and Legal bumpers for the Robot. We developed the bumper boards using three 1/4" Plywood boards that were molded over a 1/4 size circular template and vacuum packed overnight while the epoxy dried.
Our Wizard seamstress taught and had our students sew the flip change bumper covers for each section.
Then we assemble and mount the bumpers so that the robot can be carried by the Bumpers at any time. Infact the way they are mounted, the bumpers could be our attachment points for the belaying device if needed, but we did install 2 eyebolts just incase someone is unsure about our structural decision.
