Re: The age old question - bumper mounting

Team 3574 designs their bumpers so there is no "Changing bumpers" during a competition. The bumpers are created so there is a "Flap" with Velcro so you just pull them down or up depending on the color you want.

The bumpers themselves are mounted to the frame with hitch pins for easy removal if we have to work on something in the heat of the competition.

Here is a link to what they look like. http://first3574.org/images/gallery/4.JPG
