No, for a few reasons.

The biggest is that you are going to have quite a difficult time building a quadcopter that is light enough to fly with a legal battery, control system, and bumpers.

There are also a number of other rules that would be difficult to meet, such as R22 which says that your bumpers must reside in the "bumper zone" which is 2" - 10" off the ground.

EDIT- this same bumper rule makes jumping illegal.

Yeah, the way the bumper rules are written, it seems once the match starts they are in respect to the fixed perimeter. I'm curious if jumping counts as articulating the fixed perimeter.
