AM14U Kitbot and R26
R26
BUMPERS must be supported by the structure/frame of the ROBOT (see Figure 4-10). To be considered supported, a minimum of ½ in. at each end of the BUMPER must be backed by the FRAME PERIMETER. Additionally, any gap between the backing material and the frame

What I am worried about here is the end of the AM14U chassis on one side is just the piece of metal outside of the wheels and it is definately not 1/2 thick. It does have a bend at the top, but does this count as 1/2 support? If not will all teams using the kit chassis have to add a couple of custom L brackets just to make the bot legal?

I will Q&A this if I have to just wanted to get some feedback here and make sure I am not missing something obvious.
