does nobody answer? mew? :yikes:

some teams use those pool noodle raft things and they seem to work…

And all you need to do is tie-wrap them on :slight_smile:

We don’t build our bumpers outside of the 36 by 30 zone, so they aren’t ‘technically’ bumpers, but our robot is surrounded in 1/8" diamond plate. It does the job well.

wasnt diamond plate illegal on robots? (this is the same stuff they use on the driver stand right??) if not disregard and pretend i never said this :smiley:

No. We used it last year.

k just checkin

last year we made our bumpers out of foam coated with some lexan that was very thin hertes a link to a picture i uploaded last year.

814 likes to make bumpers out of some type of foam covered in upholstrey.

Last year we molded bumpers out of rubber, polyurethane I believe, but we opted not to use them, weight, etc. kept us from doing so.
