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?

There would have to be three sections. One covering the entire short side, including the corners, and two more covering the remainder of the long sides. Basically what that rule says is that no section can be longer then the length of the robot.
