We have a similar situation. We have are frame perimeter, and its solid. But we have some bolt heads sticking out. When we place the bumpers on the robot touching the bolt heads, the end of the bumper is not actually touching any metal. there is about .2 of a gap between the wood and the frame, and this is because of the bolts. In R26, it says the bumper must be backed by the frame perimeter at the ends. How do bolts outside the frame perimeter affect this? If we space the bumpers out, does the ends having a 1/4 inch gap between the wood and the frame affect the rule? Because if so, it seems like most kit bots would fail too, because I know there are bolts sticking out on the kitbot.
