Cantilever Wheel Bumpers

"Under the provisions of Rule <R08-M>, the entire length of the BUMPER must be structurally backed by the frame of the ROBOT. Standoffs, stanchions, and spacers used to mount the BUMPERS that result in lengths of the BUMPERS being unsupported will be considered a violation of this rule."

We plan to place aluminum structural plate (say 1/8in) across the Standoffs so to meet the intent of this rule. The plate will be bolted to the frame with pillow blocks. The plate is removable to get access to the wheels.

Does anyone see a R08 violation with this?
