Bumpers and Magnets

[Jon Stratis]

I would say no, magnets are not a rigid fastening system. They may be hard to pull off, but they're much easier to slide. One glancing blow and your bumpers would slide out of position. Then when your team was rushing to get off the field and someone grabs the bumpers to lift the robot, they'll either come right off... or worse, hold long enough that the robot falls and hits someone!
