Re: Robots structure
<R07>M. The entire length of the BUMPER backing must be supported by the structure/frame of the ROBOT (i.e. the backing material must not be in “free space” between or beyond attachment points) (see Figure 8 – 3).
I wouldn't think just pain sheet metal wouldn't meet this requirements. I know last year most inspectors wouldn't have accepted that. If you bent it and made it more structural that would be a different story.
The structure doesn't have to be full height of the bumper. The most common backing structure is 1" square tube.
