It then states that the parts permanently attached to your BUMPERS must be with in the bumper zone, which is the 4"-12" zone you referenced.
Yes I mean the brackers that attach to your bumpers. I don't consider parts mounted to your robot as bumper brackets since they are part of your robot and can be located anywhere. Many teams make large sheet metal assemblies to mount their bumpers to their frame that stay attached to their bumpers, these parts have to be within the bumper zone.
