Bumper help

[Richard McClellan]

We used hex bolts to attach our bumpers last year going straight into the KOP frame and it was a real pain. Whenever we had to remove the bumpers for inspection or working on the robot, and put them back on, it was not fun fiddling with nuts inside the chassis channel.

This year, we're attached L-brackets to the bumpers and have bolts that go vertically through the top and bottom of the KOP chassis channel and tighten down with wingnuts, and so far it has been so much easier to work on. I would recommend putting the effort in to make bumpers that are easy to remove and reattach.
