Robot frame/bumper question

I'm totally new to the forum here so if I overlooked some rule, please let me know!

My team came up with a design, however we're not sure if/how bumpers would have to apply. Basically the frame would be the traditional rectangle, however about 1/4 of it at the corner would be cut out (like taking a corner piece from a cake). In the manual they diagram a rectangular frame with a section cut out in the middle, but not an entire corner.
Seeing as the bumpers need to cover all outside corners, would we need 8 in. bumper lengths for the inside of the cut out portion?

I might not be that good at articulating the question, so here's a quick MSpaint illustration!


On the other hand I'm very pleased with the new rule on being able to split up your team number on the bumpers, as long as it's identifiable. If only they had changed that for last year's game...
Also, if anyone is willing to divulge their secrets-- are y'all focusing on climbing the pyramid or scoring frisbee points?
