How are you attaching the bumpers? Have you done any structural analysis on those supporting members behind the bumpers? Or do you even particularly care if they deform?
I'm not too worried on the deformation of them. Really the only reason they are there is to fulfill the bumper rules.. the wood is strong enough in terms of getting beat up. As for attachment, I plan to use some sort of clever method that requires little, to no thought and follows the simple method. Probably will end up being one attachment point on each corner of the frame including the hex points. Most likely will bolt them down to the tubes by using alum angle iron and 1/4-20 bolts.
