2016 Bumper Rules Threads(Using Rhino track drive module/am-3322)

[icecold10400]

Hello we are team 4229,

We were recently looking at the 5th rule update (https://firstfrc.blob.core.windows.n...Updates/05.pdf)

We were wondering about about the front portion of the treads (3.75 inches). The updated picture showed a bumper that did not exceed 8 inches because the side of the perimeter did not exceed 8 inches (4.7 bumper rules figure 4-3 lower right corner of the robot ).

Is it legal to have a bumper be shorter than 8 inches because the side is shorter than 8 inches or do you need to extend the bumper 8 in even though the frame perimeter does not go 8 inches?
