"I believe" doesn't cut it...

You may want to read the above-quoted rule. You get up to 30 lb of fabricated material that you can bring in outside the bag. There are no restrictions on what that fabricated material is. So, you could use it for your bumpers if you wanted to. You could use it for a shooter or an appendage. You could use it for the control system. You could not use it at all! You could use it for any combination of the above.

Bumpers do not have to be bagged with the robot, or in the second bag. However, if they are not bagged, they count towards the 30 lb of fabricated items.
