Skywalkar got it right. Actually, the bumpers on the left side are "theoretically 8" + overlap" long. This is a common problem that many teams will face this year--bumpers not supported at the end when they have to rebuild them to make the length.



Just as a note, I actually did this one as a response to the collective community forgetting of the difference between "Frame Perimeter" and "What My Frame Looks Like". It was not intended to be a legal configuration, and that is specifically noted in the description. Now, if somebody shows up at competition and their robot has similar problems... let's just say that they'll be doing some rework.
