Re: Bumpers, snap on/snap off
I agree with Al. Heck their might not even be bumpers next year.

This past season had a lot more rules dealing with bumper construction. We were forced to rebuild our bumpers during week 6 once we found the rule about no extra holes in the wood.

Just a word of advice. Dont put off bumper making. Yes the robot it priority #1 (especially if bumpers are not required), but when designing your bot keep in mind how you want to secure the bumpers to the frame and how their placement will affect other parts of your bot. (you dont want a bumper to get in the way of you manipulator)
