As a matter of fact, there was. TU#2 revised Figure 4-3 to show that bumpers inside the Frame Perimeter were, in fact, not Bumpers. See above.

Also, note that the poster of that particular post took note that the design was not legal. The reason for that is that the Frame Perimeter runs from the left point on that robot to the right point (on the top) in a straight line, as though you stretched a string across. Bumpers must be mounted on the Frame Perimeter per [R28-E]. So, there's nothing to mount the bumpers to... but the bumpers must be supported... so the entire design doesn't work as planned.
