bumper question

according to the manual, we can have segmented bumpers (not the complete length of the robot side). it says the minimum length is 6 inches. however, the rules also say the bumpers can extend into the corner space up to 3.5 inches (only the noodle and cloth parts).

so, can that 3.5 inches count as part of the 6 inch minimum?

what i mean is, im trying to get the widest possible space in-between two bumper segments. if the 6 inches has to be within the 28 robot width, then the widest is 28 - 6 - 6 = 16 inches gap.

is it possible to increase that gap by moving the bumpers into the corner area (outside the 28x38 envelope)?
