Circular/cornerless robot - Bumper free or fully bumpered?

When reading <R22>, I immediately thought "what if the robot doesn't have corners?" (e.g. a circular robot)

I could interpret it both ways:
  • Bumpers must cover corners. no corners, no bumpers.
  • An pentagon would has five corners, a hexagon six corners, an octagon eight, a nonagon nine, a decagon ten.... a circle is ALL CORNERS, and thus must have full bumper coverage.

Unless I missed something, it's definitely one for the Q&A...
