Bumpers

We are a new team and want to clarify a rule to make sure we are correct. We are building our bumbers. In the front we need to leave an opening to let the ball come through our frame. We need 8 inches min from each vertex. Does that mean from each exact vertex of the frame or does that mean each side of the robot meaning if we overlap the side bumbers by 3 inches does that 3 inches count as part of the 8 inches required? If they over lap the side bumpers we would have 3 inches on one side of the exact vertex of the frame and 5 inches on the other side of the vertex. Is that legal? or do all 8 inches need to be on the inside of the frame vertex? (knowing that the corner still needs to be protected.)

Thanks.
