Thankfully, our team had a parent who made the actual bumpers themselves for ultimate ascent and aerial assist. She was able to use that knowledge and improve upon it to make really robust bumpers (after lone star (our second event) our bumpers were only slightly ripped). And regarding mounting mechanisms, we just decided to go overboard and add mounting points in every free spot on the frame perimeter. With those two things combined thankfully we were a "carpet bumper" team
