A. BUMPERS must be backed by the FRAME PERIMETER and may not go inside the FRAME PERIMETER (see Figure 4-5). Please see the Blue Box on R2 for help determining the FRAME PERIMETER of the ROBOT.

and with the response it seems to sound like they dont approve of it but they dont say no to it but i could be wrong.
I believe you are wrong. The FRAME PERIMETER is not angled. A bumper backed by it will also not be angled. An angled bumper will not be backed by the FRAME PERIMETER and will not comply with the rules.
