Re: single bumper
I know for a fact that 118, the Robonauts, used a single bumper configuration exactly like what you are talking about. It looked like it worked extremely well, and they were able to change colors in less than a minute, which is impressive in my perspective.

I understand that you cannot have a bumper segment longer than the widest dimension of your robot, but I believe each of the segments were separated except for the corner brackets.
