No, bumpers were optional back then too. The "standard bumper" of today was first optional in 2006. Back in 2003 the bumper rules were a bit more ambiguous (to say the least), no definitively defined material, no "bumper zone" etc. It was just a way to help teams protect their robots a little bit if they wanted. I saw very few teams running with bumpers back then.
