We tried tugging on it pretty hard, and at all different angles. It is not at all easy to just pop that connector out.

The inside of the bumper comes right up against the outside face of the aluminum on the other side of the connector. Sorry if I'm not explaining it properly, we don't really have good pictures.

And both times the connector did dislodge, it happened during the second (this really baffles us) crossing of the rock wall. So no robot was hitting the connector at the time.
