Absolutely.

Sorry I am thinking as rounding as the edges of the rectangle. Many teams are trying to intake through a gap in the bumpers and rounding the edges to keep the frame as narrow as possible.

Interesting, my rulebook has your quoted rule as
R24 Corner joints between BUMPERS must be filled with pool noodle material. Examples of
implementation are shown in Figure 4-8.

I should get the unencrypted one at home .......just a bit too busy
