Nope that won't work. A bumper segment must include the hard backing and that backing must not extend from the bumper perimeter.

Guys face it when twenty people tell you your hair is on fire you don't need to look into a mirror to find out their right.

Re: pic: almost there

ok, let me break this down easily.

Each corner must have 6 inches on either side of it

And

Your robot must have bumpers covering 2/3 of the robot.

and

the bumpers must be supported along the whole length of the wood


See the attached image for a possible fix for your frame.

Look at figure 8-2, upper left corner and it shows a bumper overhang with no backer.

And the overhang isn't counted in the bumper length.
