BUMPERS must be supported by the structure/frame of the ROBOT (see Figure 4-6). To be considered supported:
a minimum of 1 in. at each end of the BUMPER must be backed by the FRAME PERIMETER,

By saying "supporting" do you interpret the rule to mean that a part of the robot must be fastened to the bumper for at least an inch at each end, or that there must be a be a part of the frame simply present there, "backing" the bumper?
