It doesn't do much to affect maneuverability, not at that level, at least that I know about.

Visualizing the bumpers... It sounds like an interesting idea; I assume that bumper supports just aren't shown in this render. (Magic doesn't count as a support, sorry. Neither does simply constraining in CAD...)

you only see the chassis in the picture, we are planning to use the full 20 lbs for bumpers to include almost all mounting in the bumpers.
