Legal Bumpers

Our team decided to build a mecanum drive this year however when it comes to bumpers we are struggling to find something that would legally work at competition. The main problem is around our wheels since they are technically our frame perimeter. Our wheels are 2 inches thick and 6 inches wide so if we tried to put bumpers on the top we would exceed the 10 in bumper zone and if we went around the outside of the wheels it would exceed the 8 in support. If anyone has any ideas they would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
K. O'Neil
