Does this mean that a trailer striking these bumpers would be in violation of the rule that it needs to hit bumper first?

In other words, if the rear of your robot is concave in the way I diagrammed above, and you kept the trailer nestled in close, would it be against regulations because the bumpers within the concave shape are not "real" bumpers because they lie within and not along the perimeter?

This seems like a very confusing rule!
