Bumpers for a game purpose?

As long as a bumper stays within the parameters of "bumper", and stays in its "bumper zone", would it be legal to form bumpers that would serve a purpose towards offensive game play? i.e. tapered in the front of a robot to help corral balls towards the center?

The specified design does not allow for modification, except for the optional inclusion of noodle-filled corners and the placement of gaps.
