Re: Robot Bumpers Rules
The term "side" in R19 refers to a side of the FRAME PERIMETER. In the given case, the robot's FRAME PERIMETER has four sides, all of which are greater than 8". It doesn't matter that one of the sides happens to have a gap in it, it is still required to have at least 8" of bumper at each corner.
