Re: wedge as part of bumpers
At Waterbury, we discovered our bumpers had a 1/4" gap between the front of the bot and the frame. We called the lead inspector over to discuss legality, and he said that we would need to put a piece of material in there for it to be considered fully supported. What's more, he said that if it mounted to our bumper, it would not count against our frame perimeter.

Long story short, do what everyone else is saying and mount it to your bumper. It shouldn't count against your frame perimeter.

Ninja Edit: Make sure it's easily removable in case the inspector has an issue with it though.
