Must bumpers cover all sides of the robot?

[FRC61]

Rule <R08> Part I states that "BUMPERS must protect all exterior corners of the BUMPER PERIMETER (see Figure 8 - 2)" AND Part K states that "BUMPERS must protect a minimum of 2/3 of the BUMPER PERIMETER."

We are debating a design that will leave one entire side of the robot without a bumper. This design will meet the 2/3 minimum requirement (88" covered by bumpers) but seems to possibly violate the "all exterior corner" rule as we will have 2 corners that are not protected but only in one direction.

Will this be allowed???

All clauses of Rule <R08> must be satisfied, including the corner protection clause. Both sides of the corner must be protected. See Team Update #2 for additional discussion.
