Re: Whats the Best way to do Bumpers?

Like most teams- brackets that "sandwhich" the frame. Some holes and these pins for $3 each.

One big change I plan for this year is to have handles to lift our robot. The last 3 years the students lift by the bumpers. After a day or two the brackets are bent, holes don't line up, and it becomes a pain to remove and replace the bumpers. Bumpers strong enough for competition are not strong enough to be a lifting point.
