This is how we did it. Basically, you end up with a superstructure that can be completely removed from the frame of the robot without any drilling, etc. I've seen 254 completely remove their superstructure for upgrades thanks to this frame design.

Edit: Here's a view of one of our superstructure attachment points from our 2014 comp bot.
