Bumper Backing

[mac7attack]

In rule <R07> specifies the bumper must be supported by the frame.

M. The entire length of the BUMPER backing must be supported by the structure/frame of the ROBOT (i.e. the backing material must not be in “free space” between or beyond attachment points) (see Figure 8 – 3).

We have a preliminary design that puts 4 steel vertical bars on the bumper backing to hold it in between the 8020 frame. Bumper is about 5 inches tall, 8020 frame is about 9 inches between the top and bottom bar.
Would this design satisfy <R07M> or does the back of the bumper have to be directly mounted to the robot frame/8020?

Thanks,
Matt
