Re: Riveting for speed

Greg I am intrigued with this idea.
Do you think we would have problem with the mount that sticks out from the wood bumper material?

In looking at the way R08 is written I see no problem with this.
The rule states that elements attached to the bumpers are part of the bumper so I can only presume that you can attach elements to the back of the bumpers that are not the "3/4" plywood...

I really like that the GDC has opened up these requirements this year allowing all of us to engineer our own ways of attaching the bumpers...

After all ... it is the bumper that is important and that they don't weigh more than the 18 pounds total...
