Sorry about the paint image but if black is the robot's outline and purple is bumpers it would be possible to curve plywood around that curve on the front i believe and it would still satisfy the current rules. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Let's just hope that curved parts don't count as technical corners...then we'll see a whole slew of definitions for a CORNER and all of its ensuing confusion.

Since curves are not edges, I would presume that your drawing is ok for the front of the robot:

Rule <R08-O>
The BUMPER backing must not extend beyond the “edge” of the ROBOT. The backing of
adjacent BUMPER segments must not attach to each other if the attachment would require
that the joint extend into the corner (see Figure 8 – 4).
