 The MAINTENANCE of teams is just as important as the growth. Starting a new team is not always the answer. - Amanda Morrison [more] |

So, after uploading the bumper mount with the draw latch a couple of weeks ago, we decided on a slightly simpler design (and easier to build) which consists of the left over C-channel from the chassis with 1" square tubing that slides into it and locks with a bolt. With one carriage bolt holding an entire side on with this design, people could sit on the bumpers of our robot without them budging, but time spent taking the bumpers on and off was not worth measuring in seconds. With 2 bolts and 2 wing nuts (or drywall T-nuts) on each side, the bumper mounts would not be what would break in a 7-foot drop of the robot on its edge.

So are the 'Cans planning on using 2 sets of bumpers this year? Should be a quick way of changing them out.
