Interlocking bumpers?

It would be neat if teams designed their bumpers so that th fit together to save space on the bridge. ASCII art below. (to scale. In the x each character is one inch)

Code:

|                                  |
|                                  |
|                                  |
|                                  |
|                                  |
|                                  |
|                                  |
|                                  |
|                                  |
|       ---------------            |
|      |  -----------  |           |  --------
 ------- |           |  -----------  |        |
         |            ----------------        |
         |                                    |
         |                                    |
         |                                    |
         |                                    |
         |                                    |
         |                                    |
         |                                    |
         |                                    |
         |                                    |
         |                                    |
         |                                    |
          ------------------------------------
Even width-wise they would still fit on the bridge.

With this design you fit on the bridge perfectly. (28*3 + 4 == 88)
