Angled Bumpers

For our robot, we wanted a ball pickup system for balls on the ground to be added to our ball storage system. We are running it non-stop, so we wanted the whole front end to be an intake. The bumpers get in the way and leave only about 10 inches for the intake. We were wondering if we could have the front corner bumpers at a 70 degree (or smaller) angle instaed of a right angle. The Rules, as far as we know, don't mention the angle of bumpers, but all the images of bumpers show right angles. We wanted to make it a funnel to go into the intake.
