R21-G Clarification (Bumper Mounting Question)

In section R21-G of the manual, it's stated that a 'robust' connection is necessary between the robot and the bumpers. While a few examples of what is not secure are given, our team wasn't sure whether a standing idea can remain sensible. The question is: is it possible for 3-D printed 'brackets', which secure 'plates' of acrylic with bolts and nuts, which then secure the bumpers (again) with bolt and nuts, to pass through that check? It's essentially:
Code:
' ' '
=====
/////
Where ' represent brackets mounted to the frame supporting our tread, = represents the acrylic plate mounted upon the brackets, and / represents the bumper then mounted upon the plate.
