Note that all answers you get on CD are unofficial.
No. They are not in the BUMPER PERIMETER.

If so could we build an additional set of bumpers down lower where the new bumper zone would be? We would need them to still weigh under 20lbs i know.

No. Because at least one set of bumpers would not be in the BUMPER PERIMETER at any given time, and thus they would not be BUMPERS and thus have to fit in the size and weight restrictions of the robot.
Your robot must be exactly 26 inches tall to flip.
