In theory, you could have pillars every 8 inches to "back" the bumper, and have only one attachment point. It wouldn't be very robust, but that is the team's choice.

I think that theory would break the rules:
R21g: must attach to the FRAME PERIMETER of the ROBOT with a rigid fastening system to form
a tight, robust connection to the main structure/frame (e.g. not attached with hook-and-loop,
tape, or tie-wraps). The attachment system must be designed to withstand vigorous game
play. ...
So not really a choice.
