Yes, and yes. They are plastic spacers. We designed the bumper mounts that way to help insulate the frame from impact. This year's BunnyBots competition has no rule against high speed ramming, and looks to be highly violent.

It was designed to use standard vex spockets, but because they were out of stock, we ended up using steel sprockets with shortened hubs. I don't know the exact layout.
