any thoughts for bumper designs.
Yea... stay within 4" -12" zone your bumpers will be 5" high.

We are thinking 12" (12" -7") in front max height a bit lower in back angled.

You need either 8" corner sides or a side less than 8" entirely covered.

We are building a box frame inside treads and attach bumpers to that outside tread perimeter

Be careful if Scaling to Scale without going outside 15" vertices of the base.
