Bumper Attachment for Rapid Removal
I know the rules could change for the 2010 game but I'd be interested in what systems teams have used to facilitate rapid attachment and removal of bumpers.
We've always put threaded inserts inside the bumper and then bolted them onto brackets on the frame. This seems simple enough but given the cramped quarters inside the robot and subtle alignment issues it can be a tedious 30 minute job to take the bumpers on and off for weighing.
There has to be a better way? Care to share pictures or descriptions?
