Interesting. We took this to mean that the bumpers had to break the plane thus you would have approximately 1 robot length of wiggle room to adjust. Just to understand, your take is that it is the front (and only front), and thus you have about 3" of wiggle room. Correct?

I also was under the impression that as long as the front bumper is closer to the human player station than the plane of the tower posts (thus breaking the plane) you would be good, giving you approx 1 robot length of wiggle room....but I guess we will find out soon enough.
