Re: pic: Legal Bumper Configuration?

I do not think this would be legal.

Looking at the way you have it set up in the picture, the bumpers on the long side extend past the robot.

Also, looking at the diagram on page ten of section 8, it looks like the bumpers need to have an adjacent corner as Gary suggested.

Edit: the rules say bumper sections have to be at least 6" long, does this mean 6" against the robot? At a joint, since the bumpers are 2.5" wide, can the adjacent bumper be mounted so that only 4" of it is braced against the robot?
