Re: Bumper question

Also, there are two answers on the QnA that partially answer my question, but they still will probably not be enough.

Quote:
Q. In regards to Bumper Rule R27, when it states that "8" of bumper must be placed on each side of the exterior vertex...to provide adequate protection", does this mean that the bumpers themselves must be 8" long and 5" of the robot be covered or the bumpers be 11" and cover 8" of robot?

A. The 8 in. of Frame Perimeter immediately on either side of an exterior vertex must be covered by a Bumper.
The key word in there is immediately, meaning right up against each exterior vertex on both sides. I am convinced, but others still are not.

Also, just recently there was my exact question posted on the QnA:

Quote:
Does the 8" of bumper on the "side of each vertex" mean that there have to be 8" of bumper from each corner (16" total), or 8" of bumper on that side total (8" total, 4" from each corner)?
Looking forward to when that one is answered.
