Re: Bumper Corner Braces

Thanks for your responses. I have asked the Q&A. For the attachment to the robot, we were considering a simple slide and lock system, so the bolts never have to be completely removed (as a second thought, removing the bolts would increase our weight limit..).

Although the rule only says "may" not MUST, it also gives other suggestions such as wrapping the noodles around the corner or beveling the ends.
