Here is a reduced weight configuration we updated per the comments. We removed almost 20lbs. We also fixed the bumper gap. We also fixed the bumpers to have the recommended 2 noodles. And we also changed our pneumatic solution to make the elevation of the extensions easier to do with a shorter cylinder. Thanks again for everyone’s help. You have saved our team from making a lot of mistakes.

This is looking much better... It still looks like you have two problems with your official BUMPER-- the plywood looks >5" tall-- since each noodle is 2.5" the plywood should just fit behind the noodles. At the corners, the plywood should not over lap-- this is not permitted.
I would recommend submitting a formal Q&A question about your design, asking both about the obscuring of your official team number on your official bumper as well as how G48 might apply.
<G48> Strategies aimed at the destruction, attachment, damage, tipping or entanglement of ROBOTS, MINIBOTS, or HOSTBOTS are not in the spirit of the FRC and are not allowed. Contact with another ROBOT or HOSTBOT inside it‟s FRAME PERIMETER is not allowed. Violation: PENALTY, plus potential disablement and YELLOW CARD
<bluebox>High speed accidental collisions may occur during the MATCH and are an expected part of LOGO MOTION™. ROBOTS place mechanisms outside of the BUMPER PERIMETER at their own risk; no penalties will be assigned for incidental contact with such extended mechanisms. For example, use of wedge-like mechanisms to flip ROBOTS would be considered a violation.<bluebox>
It says: "ROBOTS place mechanisms outside of the BUMPER PERIMETER at their own risk" Does this mean that you assume the risk of being assessed a penalty if another bot pushes you into the zone via only contact with an extension? Hard to say.
