The rule means that the bumpers are measured from the bottom of the robot, not the floor.

I point you to figure 8-3 which states bumpers must stay within 2.5" and 8.5" inches measured from the FLOOR.

The intent of the rule is to keep the bumper to bumper contact under control. During the end game this is no longer a consideration.

See rule below:
STANDARD BUMPERS must remain within the BUMPER ZONE when the ROBOT is
resting on the floor in PLAYING CONFIGURATION. They can not
be articulated or moved outside of the BUMPER ZONE. The one
exception to this is STANDARD BUMPERS may be
within or
below the BUMPER ZONE during the END GAME if the ROBOT is
in its HOME ZONE (see Figure 8-3)
I don't see any mention of bumpers being allowed
above the bumper zone.
