Re: West coast drive illegal?

Disclaimer: I found both of the images online and am in no way associated with the teams or robots.

This year, the bot in my previous picture would NOT be legal without some modifications unfortunately since the ends of the bumper must be backed by a minimum of a 0.5in of frame perimeter.
One modification to make this bots bumpers legal would be if one of those standoffs were in each corner of the long face of the bot.
The rules do not state where the fasteners need to be only that the bumpers are backed by frame perimeter.

I should have chosen an image like this instead. The robot below would have be an example of a legal frame to attach bumpers to this year.
