Bumper Rule [33]

[FrankJ]

The 1/17 update modified R33

R33 Bumpers must be supported by the structure/frame of the Robot (i.e. each end of the Bumper must be rigidly attached to the Frame Perimeter, the gap between the backing material and the frame must not be greater than ¼ in. and no section of Bumper greater than 8 in. may be unsupported). See Figure 4‑7.

The bit about the bumper attachment at the bumper ends is new for this year. Formerly they just needed rigid attachment. Does anybody how close to the end the attachment needs to be? Sounds silly when I write it I know.
