Pretty certain that that would be a violation of <R11>. Not totally sure though; I'd check Q&A.

<R11> The FRAME PERIMETER must be comprised of fixed, non-articulated structural elements of the ROBOT. The FRAME PERIMETER must remain a fixed, unchanging polygon throughout the MATCH.
(And before you say that's not applicable, the bumpers are required to mount to the frame perimeter, as detailed in <R07>.)
