Let's be careful to define the question here.

A robot's BUMPER PERIMETER is measured independent of the Trailer Hitch (measured as if the hitch wasn't there). Two-thirds of this perimeter distance must be covered with BUMPERS. At least 7" of space at the location of the Trailer Hitch cannot be covered with a bumper. Therefore some other location on the frame will have to have bumpers to make the total at least 2/3's.
