No, for a few reasons.

The biggest is that you are going to have quite a difficult time building a quadcopter that is light enough to fly with a legal battery, control system, and bumpers.

There are also a number of other rules that would be difficult to meet, such as R22 which says that your bumpers must reside in the "bumper zone" which is 2" - 10" off the ground.

EDIT- this same bumper rule makes jumping illegal.
