Re: Bumpers and the Frame Perimeter
Your wheels must be inside the robot frame.

[R01-2] The Robot must have a Frame Perimeter that is comprised of fixed, non-articulated structural elements of the Robot.

The bumpers then directly attach to that frame. Standoffs are not allowed.

[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).
