Sorry for not explaining well enough. Yes we did drill a 1/4 hole for a secure connection. We did a quick release pin every eight inches for all sides. It was also tested against other robots at a off-season event as well as at home against other robots. It held up with the problems and had no play what so ever. It went though a 1x1" square tubing and c-base channel on the chassis.

Re: Bumper easy attachment?

Our team makes one set of bumpers. We staple one colour of fabric on the bumpers and atttach to bot. We then take the other colour and sew bumper covers that we can attach using velcro. This makes changing the bumper colour super easy.
