Re: Whats the Best way to do Bumpers?

I thought our 2010 robot's bumper worked pretty well. One of our mentor took some time to cut and sew a red cloth cover for the main bumper, it was attached by two staples on the back I think. We had velcro and a blue cover since we didn't want to spend the time and resource to make another set that has to be reattached on and off during competition.

We had holes drilled into the robot and had bolts attached to the inside of the bumper so a wingnut could be fastened onto it and hold the bumper in place.

The blue cover wasn't asthetically nice to have on, and putting velcros on the red bumper probably didn't help, but we encountered no problems with it.
