- Third, Teams could mount a small (hopefully light) spacer on the robot at the bumper zone that spaces the FRAME PERIMETER over the tops of the fastners.
I think 2 is the most reasonable given where we are. I don't think they are going to go for it. I suppose 3 is the safest bet because it is in the team's control.

This seems like a pretty good summary of the options at this point.
Our team is hoping for #2 and planning for #3.
