Bumper Height

[gontholianguy]

My team's design for hanging tube requires having a gap in the outer frame, but after looking in the bumper rules, I found out that "100% of the outer frame perimeter" must be covered by the bumpers. The gap still allows bumpers to be attached to the outer perimeter. Is it legal to have this gap in the bumpers?

100% of the bumper perimeter must be covered. No gaps in the bumpers. Time for a redesign, I guess.

Gaps in the frame, no more than 8" long or no more than 1/4" deep behind the bumpers.
