The bumpers themselves may not have such a feature. However, you can "deploy" a mechanism over the bumper that has the grippy surface. A simple length of lexan or aluminum or even wood, hinged to flip down over the top of the bumper, should work fine. Use a servo to release it and/or nudge it down.
