I like it.

I've got a question, and it's about bumpers - so you can all groan now if you want.

How can you leagally protect the rear corners of this frame with BUMPERS that satisfy all of the rules?

As far as I understand (and no, I don't have my BUMPER RULE DEGREE from FIRST yet), you can't have the bumper extend past the end of the back rail, but you need to protect the corner on both sides. The side bumper can't extend past the end of the side rail, so that leaves a 1.125 inch length that is not protected. (Having a pool noodle extend past the edge of the plywood doesn't count.)

I think this problem was brought up somewhere before.

Any answers?
