You can have a bumper-like structure inside your Frame Perimeter (FP), but you can't have a Bumper inside the FP.

The difference is in the weight allocation. Any bumper-like structure inside the FP must be counted in the 120 lbs limit. And if you make them color-coded, so that you have 2 of them, you have to count the weight of both pieces at the same time (additional Mechanisms).

Your robot could look somewhat like the circled area except:
-- the bumper-like structure on the inside of the cutout could not extend past the frame
-- the Bumper could not extend past the vertex
