Re: Bumper "Side" Clarification

The way I read that, is you are allowed to have a side less than 8" as long as the entire side is covered by a bumper. I could be wrong about the way I am reading that part of R19.
The side is not just the part with the frame. The side of your robot includes the opening for intake. Therefore the side is not 5 inches. It's 24 inches. Which means 8 inches from each corner must be covered.

EDIT: In the image this highlighted part is the answer to your questions.
