  1. Bumpers 101 FIRST Team 67 The HOT Team

  2. Design • Step One: Design your robot • Finalize Dimensions • Watch out for holes in frame that need to remain uncovered

  3. Cut the Wood • Using outside dimensions for your robot’s frame, cut your wood of choice. • Plywood is a good option, plenty strong enough for this • Pieces should form a layer outside your robot’s frame This year we recycled the wood from previous year’s bumpers to make a rookie team’s

  4. Drill, Secure and Reinforce Bumpers • Drill holes for wood screws to form simple butt joints.

  5. Cut angle • Use metal angle pieces on the frame side to reinforce your joints, using screws running perpendicular to the angle to secure them.

  6. Finishing • Encircle bumpers in pool noodle, wrap with plastic wrap, and seal plastic wrap with a quick once over with a heat gun.

  7. Team #’s and The Cloth Wrap • Cut cloth to wrap around the bumpers.Cut numbers for your team and glue or iron them in place. Staple cloth in place.
