I'd challenge you or anyone else to suggest a potential rule that would be feasible and would contradict the the bumper-based model.

Note: Haven't figured out the rule that says bumpers must be "vertical." R24-E comes close, but doesn't quite do it.
The issue of level bumpers has been brought up in the Q&A. The bumpers do not necessarily need to be level so long as they are completely within the bumper zone (I believe 971 did this last year). So the bumpers won't necessarily be a perfect measure of normal to the robot, but given the variation in height possible while staying in the bumper zone, it's pretty close.
