Yes, frame designs that support the bumpers every 8 inches or less are legal if they are in fact firm support.
R24
E. must attach to the FRAME PERIMETER of the ROBOT with a rigid fastening system to form a tight, robust
connection to the main structure/frame (e.g. not attached with hook-and-loop or tie-wraps).
The attachment
system must be designed to withstand vigorous game play.
However, the bumpers only need to protect the exterior corners for 8" from the corner as shown in the rules and team update.
