Correct, if the chassis with brackets fits in the sizing box after the bumpers are removed.
[Caution: we're assuming the 2008 bumper rule. The 2009 rule may be different.]
You might need to add something to support the bumpers against flexing inward to contact one of the center wheels when your robot gets slammed broadside.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
