Horizontal Mounts

The horizontal system, for teams that use four individual bumpers, allows teams to keep hands completely outside of the frame perimeter when installing and releasing bumpers. This enables teams to design and build mechanisms the full width of the robot while maintaining easy access to the bumper mechanisms. So no more impossible, time consuming reaching around the mechanisms to get to bumper pins or latches. The horizontal system requires a simple hex key or t-handle to activate.

Layout and dimensions

Horizontal bumper mounts only prevent the bumper from coming off and sliding. You still need to "locate" each bumper segment to prevent them from spinning. See our guide HERE
