Re: Need help with bumpers

We had a similar setup on our 2006 bot. Pull 4 pins and they popped right off. It worked very well. We did have to remove the brackets from the bumpers and weigh them with the robot, also the pins.

Last year the bumpers were all hinged together. We had brackets along the back that simply went over the frame. The brackets in front were held on by pins. Remove two pins and the whole thing came off. Just like 2006 we also had to remove the brackets and weigh them with the robot.
