I doubt it. You are supposed to have a rigid fastener system. I'd ask Q&A, and get busy on an alternate system.

The other thing is, it would be really easy to make you not in compliance with the bumper rule during a match. And I mean really easy (for any arm robot, and quite a few shooters as well). Maybe if you had a lock, but you'd probably extend outside the box. That isn't good either.
