Re: Bumper Attachment Design

I have no issues with changing bumpers, but have you considered a reversible set? After our first year bumper issues I will never go back to having more than one bumper to deal with. We use an elastic band that is looped to let us change bumpers in less than five seconds with no scraped knuckles or tools. We have loaded onto the field with the wrong color before and just flipped colors as we were setting the robot down with no issues.

The other benefit is that we can use a solid mount that might take ten minutes to put on, but we only have to do it once. Our current set from 2014 uses twelve bolts (2 front and rear and four on each side) and a piece of bar stock to distribute the load.
