I think Gary is reading the original question the way it was intended...
You only need two bolts to hold on each bumper, they can be up to about 37" apart if you want them to be.
But you need something solid (like the robot frame) back there for the bumper to rest against, when the robot runs into something, to keep the bumper from deflecting in and possibly breaking. The 8" rule means the gap in whatever is behind the bumper cannot exceed 8 inches length.
