Re: Are extensions with bumpers after the start of the game legal

I'd have to say that the gap in the bumper causes your robot to violate the 100% coverage rule. That said, if you moved the base of the cylinder to the upper part of the frame so it didn't have to go through the bumpers, and maybe moved the attachment to the wings slightly higher, you could easily avoid the gap.
