Bumper zone vs. Climbing

I didn't see any rule that explains how you are allowed to transition for non-climbing (where bumper zone rules would be in force) to climbing (where bumper rules are not in force, or are they?)

For example, can I drive to under the 30" bar, and deploy a mechanism (e.g. think stinger) that pushes off of the floor for lift, raising bumpers above 10" prior to first contact with pyramid? (Mechanism might also lower bumpers on opposite side of bot below 2" if bumpers are mounted low due to fulcrom at wheels.
