Start with the Team Update from 1-17:

[R33]
Bumpers must be supported by the structure/frame of the Robot (i.e. each end of the Bumper must be rigidly attached to the Frame Perimeter, the gap between the backing material and the frame must not be greater than ¼ in. and no section of Bumper greater than 8 in. may be unsupported). See Figure 4‑7.

And end with the Q&A forum answer:

Q. Pertaining to R33, namely the (i.e) line about the ends of bumpers needing to be attached to the frame perimeter, does it mean that the vertices of the bumpers need to be attached, or does the rule mean to specify a different type of “end”? If so, how far away from the corner can they be attached?
A. The specific part of Rule [R33] referenced means that Bumpers may not extend beyond any segment of Robot frame beyond that which is expressly permitted in [R28] and the rest of [R33] regarding unsupported sections.
