You're expected to make contact within the bumper zone. Normally to push an opponent, but pulling/pushing a partner even with the aid of a mechanism would seem ok to me.

IMHO, each robot should have a bumper grabber to aid in bridge balancing by latching on to their neighbor. You have a pretty good (but not perfect) idea where your partner's bumper will be so it shouldn't be too difficult. Perhaps not a top priority though.
