The part that doesn't come off the robot, the part that is permanently affixed.
Note that bumper construction is pretty well defined, you can't have a lot of extra doo-dads on it. The bumper is the plywood, noodles, cover material, fasteners to hold the whole mess together, and the bolts that go through the wood to connect it to the robot. Nothing more, nothing less.
The only thing not addressed is the nuts that will be tightened on the bolts - I presume you can count those as bumper weight. (Because they're not a fixed part of the robot.)
