But, it is nice to have the bumpers proceeding apace with the rest of the robot! Fabric should be screen printed and ready for sewing sometime next week, and by then we should have the attachment process finished.
With manipulators that hang outside the frame perimeter and needing to get down to the ground, having bumpers in place early is an absolute must!

It is very nice to see a robot where the bumpers are not an afterthought.
