Re: West coast drive with versa frame bumper mounting
We did use corner bumpers this year with our WCD, which we bolted onto the frame, however, in the past, we have use C-Channel on the bumper and 1x1 stock on the robot with mounting holes, and we used quick-release pins from McMaster-Carr to go through all of the frame and the C-Channel. This made bumper switching quicker and easier to put on and take off as you don't need any hand tools to put them on.
We didn't use them in 2016 because we felt like the game didn't lend itself to using the pins with the constant up and down of going over the defenses.
