Well, according to Team 842 (see below), they believe all four sides are legal and don't need any remaining work. (Despite a fairly specific and clear Q&A entry.) I'm very interested in how this will play out. I'm sure many teams would like the extra space on their robot for their intake that 842 is planning to gain with their diagonal bumpers.

Our argument though will be that the corners will be protected, no bumper section will be less than 6 inches and the weight of the part not on the bumper perimeter will be counted against the robot weight. Even if you had a straight section instead of diagonals the corners would not be protected on the inside. Oh well we will see
