Incorrect. The bumperzone is defined with your wheels touching the ground.
If you are pushed in such a way that your wheels are not touching the ground (like being pushed up a ramp) then the bumperzone no longer applies.
If it were as you stated, then any time a robot went over the bump they would gather a penalty.
