To make the example easy, if you cut a 45 degree angle (you cut off 1" from the front and 1" from the side), the length would be just over 1.4" long.
R26-A says any gap between the backing material and the frame can be no more than 1/4", so clearly something has to go there.
R19 shows the overlap of the noodle on the hexagon-shaped robot, so a vertical pool noodle attached to the new short side shouldn't be an issue.
The bumper backing could be a robust piece of wood instead of plywood. (R21-A), so perhaps you could create the small triangular piece out of solid wood and attach it to one of the existing bumpers.
The suggestion about Q&A is also a good one.
Thanks!
