However, since 8 inches of bumper from each corner are present, this would be a legal solution, as far as I can tell.
Problem here - that last inch of "sort of a bumper" needs to be weighed with the ROBOT. How are you going to have it installed for weigh-in?

And none of that last inch of "sort of a bumper" can be outside the FRAME PERIMETER at the start of the match.
