MMRambotics - Bumpers :D

Hey,

Here is a short clip of us cutting our foam pool noodles and covering them with blue or red fabric, we made two sets of bumpers one red and one blue. They can be swapped by one person in less that one minuite.

nice design, im impressed by the speed of changing them... how well do they stay on though (compared to just switching the cloth on the outside)

They stay on very well, In this photo there is a spring that is not shown but it is where the blue arrow points. When you push up on the bolt towards the bottom of the frame the two in the aluminum block are pushed up and the bumper slides out In this photo there is a spring that is not shown but it is where the blue arrow points. When you push up on the bolt towards the bottom of the frame the two in the aluminum block are pushed up and the bumper slides out as seen here
