My team is a little confused on
R19:
Quote:
ROBOTS are required to use BUMPERS to protect all outside corners of the FRAME PERIMETER.
For adequate protection, at least 8 in. of BUMPER must be placed on each side of each outside
corner (see Figure 4-3). If a side is shorter than 8 in., the entire side must be protected by
BUMPER (see Figure 4-4). A round or circular FRAME PERIMETER, or segment of the frame
perimeter, is considered to have an infinite number of corners.

Does this mean that all corners must have at least 8" on each side, or only that if the side is < 8", then the whole side must be covered in bumpers.
I am specifically asking about the scenario below, where there is a gap in the front of the robot. Can the 2 sides surrounding the gap be less than 8" in length (e.g. 4")?
Clarification would be greatly appreciated!
