Re: Bumper Mounts
Team 1726 has used either t-nuts (which can be hammered into a wooden board) or t-bolts to mount their bumpers. A quick McMaster search will show the various hardware. Considering the directions in which force will be applied to your bumpers you shouldn't need an incredibly tough mounting system as most of the force will be transmitted right on through as noted above.

You should be more worried if your bumpers are unsupported in the center as they may shatter.
