<R7> It is very common to have moving parts on robots that have "limits". You permit "limit switches" (276-2174), which could be used in concert with these bumpers. Request to add: k) Rubber bumpers. To minimize damage from moving parts, and prevent metal to metal contact. Bumpers shall be attached to the robot through a structural part. Both screws and "push fasteners" are permitted. Adhesive attachment is not permitted.
