Re: Best methods of bumper mounting?
I think 2471's bumpers this year should be contenders for "best bumpers" and "best bumper mounting method." Here are some pictures of the mounting system and the bumpers themselves after several intense competitions:

The bumpers slid on from the top. Quarter inch bolts fit into slots in the drive plates and plastic latches clicked around the front and back frame rails. A couple of people could remove or attach a set of bumpers in less than ten seconds.

Also, a set of these bumpers was stronger than most robots' frames!
