What do we do? We have no mentors to help us interpret the rules and help us change our design if we need to.

The bumper rules are clear on the 8" minimum bumper segments from each corner of the frame perimeter. Unfortunately, as described, your current design will not pass inspection.
If you post a drawing or photo of your existing robot chassis, you might get some suggestions from CD on how to bring your robot into compliance without a major redesign.
