1/2" gap in bumpers, is this acceptable?



We have assembled our robot bumpers on our rectangular robot. The front and back bumpers are as wide as the robot. The left and right side foam extends so that it is flush with the outside edge of the front and rear bumpers. This has created a 1/2" gap between the side bumpers and the front/rear bumpers. (Caused by the plywood backing.)

Do we have a potential problem passing inspection? We think we met the rule for complete coverage, but I don't want to be scrounging pool noodles during our Week 1 competition in Rochester.
