I think we may be in the same boat, but there are worse possible things to have to do than fix some bumpers. In perfect hindsight and looking at the rules I can also see a disconnect between the text portion that says the bumper backing plywood is the same length as the side of the robot. ( Im paraphrasing but we all can see where this comes from ).

So if one builds the plywood to the dimension of the robot and then covers the plywood you might not get a gap in the corners but you won't necessarily get the foam and cloth covering to extend much further than the end of the backing piece either. This is basically where we are at.

You can see in the attached photos how our bumpers meet in the corners, I suppose the worse case scenario is now to open them back up and stuff a vertical piece of noodle in the corner to fill it out a bit, and then cover it back up and hope there are no gaps in the fabric.

Would be great if these are legal, but again, for us there are a lot of other and bigger fish to fry in the time remaining.
