Yes. We want to drive up to the pyramid corner and straddle it with our robot to help line up our climb. If the bumpers were straight out then they would hit the rungs on the way up (something that we would like to avoid, climbing is difficult enough as it is). with the slanted ends, our robot will "fit" to the corner of the pyramid helping us line up and climb more smoothly.
