You are incorrectly interpreting the bumper rules. As stated in the manual, if you were to wrap a string around your robot, your frame perimeter would be the polygon created by that string. Regardless of whether or not an actual frame member is present across the entirety of the front of your robot, that line is your frame perimeter. Since that side of your frame perimeter is >8", you need at least 8" of coverage from each corner.
