STANDARD BUMPERS must be removable so that they can be weighed separately from the ROBOT. STANDARD BUMPERS must be attached to the ROBOT with a bolt-and-fastener system to form a rigid, robust connection to the ROBOT structure (i.e. not attached with Velcro!).
The zip-tie system is obviously not allowed ("STANDARD BUMPERS must be attached to the ROBOT with a bolt-and-fastener system") As for using other setups involving different configurations of the bolts, I would assume that's not allowed, but ask the Q&A.
