Yes I think the problem one would run onto is that the jacks are still part of the robot, so if the bumper moves up two feet and the robot is still in contact with the batter, then the bumpers have exceeded the range at which they are allowed to be in relation to the bottom of the robot, which in the case of the jack, is at the contact point between jack and batter.
