Bumper problems....

Hello from 288/216 Robodawgs and Robodawgs II

We are having some bumper problems on our 216 robot. one of the sides we need to cover is only 4 inches long. The rules have been interperated in multiple ways, and we don't know how this one will work. we have our first competition at Traverse City in less than a day, and we dont know how to get the bumpers on.

The ides:
Put the bumpers on vertically (dont think this will work)

Extend the bar into the gap, block part of our opening, but have legal bumpers (would work, but limit our ball collecting)

Wrap the bumpers around corners to leave the pool noodles longer than 6 in. (Is it the plywood or the noodle that has to be more than 6 in?)

Any other ideas?
