As noted in <R08-A>
BUMPERS must provide complete protection of the entire FRAME PERIMETER of the ROBOT (i.e. BUMPERS must wrap entirely around the ROBOT). The BUMPERS must be located entirely within the BUMPER ZONE when the ROBOT is standing normally on a flat floor, and must remain there (i.e. the BUMPERS must not be articulated or designed to move outside of the BUMPER ZONE).

It will not be legal.

You don't need that space. The ball rolls under the bumper zone as it is (having a rough diameter of 8 inches) So you have nothing to put a space there for.

Also no, that set up is not legal. must cover 100% of the bot.

100% means bumpers go all the way around the robot. No gray area here.

No gray area here.

And hooray for that.
