Prebuilding

Adding the bumpers to the robot.

The requirement for a quick-release bumper system prompted many great ideas. The team came up with one that we have never seen used before (thanks Ron). The bumpers were outfitted with a piece of u-channel that would slip over the robot frame. This u-channel attached to the frame with quick-release hitch pins (ball-spring-detente type) allowing for fast removal and installation.

Putting the cloth covering on the bumpers.

Build something! Anyone can change a light bulb -- try making one. It’s easy, right?
