Re: Bumpers

The BUMPER backing must be supported by the structure/frame of the ROBOT (i.e. the
gap between the backing material and the frame must not be greater than 1/4” and no
section of BUMPER greater than 8” may be unsupported). See Figure 3-3.

This states the rules on the gaps BEHIND bumpers. You cann't have holes in your bumpers, but you may have a gap BEHIND the bumpers that is up to 8 inches.
