Bumpers could line the recess, but they wouldn't count as legal "bumpers" and lessen chances of inadvertant attachment or damage to the trailer. Does anyone know if this would be legal? There is a rule that robots must contact bumper to bumper, but what about the trailer?

I don't see any problems with this, but you should check Q&A to be sure.
You still would not be allowed to contact the upper structure of the trailer, under the liberal <G29> interpretation found in Team Update 1.
