Re: The age old question - bumper mounting

This was an awesome way to mount our four corner bumpers to the c-frame base. We were able to change bumpers in about 45 seconds.


Mount pieces of oversize c-channel to the back of the bumper, lined up with the holes on the robot chassis

Use long bolts with spacers (made from air hose) as mounting pins. You can use wing nuts to secure them, but we had no problems just inserting the pins.
