It's there - I had to look to be sure. I'm not sure if the requirement to bump with or against a bumper was added in the revised G38 or not.
Quote:
<G38> Signal To Pass – During the Teleoperated Period, a ROBOT may indicate a desire to pass an IMPEDING ROBOT by approaching the opponent ROBOT and “bumping” the back of the opponent ROBOT (relative to the Direction of Traffic) .
  • All “bump to pass” signals must be made with or against a STANDARD BUMPER and inside the BUMPER ZONE, or
  • If in POSSESSION of a TRACKBALL, the ROBOT may “bump” the IMPEDING ROBOT with the TRACKBALL outside the BUMPER ZONE, providing the contact is made exclusively with the TRACKBALL.
