Re: bumper design
Emphasis is Mine.

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.

Seems to me that your bumper configuration would be illegal with 2" on either front bumper unsupported. An easy way around this would be to add a small piece of angle to the frame to make it two inches longer and attach to that.
