Re: Slanted Bumper Ends
Is your original post a top view or a side view?
If it's a side view, I believe you are literally asking Q209--part of your bumper (however short) is not 5" tall through its full cross section. This is illegal--the lower edge is longer than the upper edge.
If it's a top view--four front face is shorter than your back face--you would still appear to be in violation of Fig 4-4 as required by A130, but you could ask anyway. People do this for corner joints--it's the lower left image in Fig 4-5, but fig 4-4 would seem to prohibit it when another bumper is not filling the bevel to maintain the cross-section.
That said, we're driving up the corner, and just raising the bumpers got them ore than out of the way. (They only needed to be at like 3" with the position of our climb latches.) If you're trying to use them to line up, you might consider just dropping down simple guides. They could be crazy lightweight on just a servo or a cylinder, depending on how you'd need to actuate them.
