Re: Bumper question

Side A, hands down. 'at least 8" on each side of each exterior vertex' is what the rule says; that is what the inspectors are going to call legal.

No questions there.

And yes, the maximum opening (what I think you really meant to say) on the short side is 12" due to the 8". If you want more collection space, use a wide robot.
