Quick release bumper design

[aepstein]

Last year we built L brackets onto our bumper plywood that enable a quick pin insertion in the chassis to fasten them. This image shows what I'm talking about:

This thread has conflicting info as to whether this is legal in 2011. Should I be asking the FIRST Forum?

Thanks.

The only real question of legality here, was about the 8" support rule and the diagram in rule <R07>-K answers this. It IS legal, and since our team started using quick change bumpers, we've saved soo much time not just between matches but when in the pits and back at school.

aepstein,
From first glance, I don't see anything that violates current bumper rules for attachments.
