Tank tread bumpers?

R19 ROBOTS are required to use BUMPERS to protect all outside corners of the FRAME PERIMETER. For adequate protection, at least 8 in. of BUMPER must be placed on each side of each outside corner...
and
R21 section G. must attach to the FRAME PERIMETER of the ROBOT with a rigid fastening system to form a tight, robust connection to the main structure/frame

that's right but your drawings above put the bumpers over the threads. The plywood backing have to start beyond the threads

I specifically said "Not drawn to scale or anything."
