We came up with a similar plan, it's not going to work for every team but being able to keep ball control through out the match is going to reduce cycle times greatly.

I don't even think this is something that has to be standardized since the minimum height of the top of a set of bumpers is 7 inches most teams with an over the bumper ball collection are going to be possible hand off candidates. Appendages that stick out past the bumpers will cause some challenges but I still think handoffs will happen pretty regularly.
