Whether some sort of guard or bumper mount that is quickly and easily removable (or doesn't inhibit replacing wheels) can be added is a challenge left up to the individual team.
I can think of a way off the top of my head to make a guard with 2 nuts holding it on.


Remove one, and swing it out of the way.
