need help w/ bumper fastner designs

[Jon Stratis]

From what i can see, your bumper will fulfill the definition of a standard bumper - You build the standard bumper, and attached it to that metal arm with a secure nut and bolt system. That arm, i believe, needs to also be securely attached to the rest of the robot with nuts and bolts - a pin probably wouldn't suffice. Another team posted a similar question to the GDC:

Thank you for pointing out our ambiguous/erroneous language. We will amend the inspection check-list so that bolt and nut fasteners are accepted. In your case, we suggest that the "quick disconnect" pin be a bolt-nut combination. Please be sure that the Bumpers you use are compliant with the rest of Rule <R08>.
