I agree--this needs to be either a team update, or a "better" Q&A. That said, I would advise any team considering angled bumpers to have a backup plan in case Q&A continues to disallow and no update addresses the issue. (BTW, I'm still waiting for someone to follow up on the "wheels are frame perimeter if they stick out from the frame" ambiguity.)
Before the championship, the LRI/all the inspectors have a conference call with FIRST, and they go over what's legal and not legal. That's how the robot inspectors knew that 118 was illegal in 2012. With the three robots (1114, 67, and 236), I'd be willing to bet the GDC must have seen a picture of one of them at least, and if the bumpers were illegal, they'd let the CMP/Michigan championship inspectors know they were no good.
