Go to Post Q&A is certainly a good route to take, but depending on how gray the topic in question is, CD is certainly a good place to ask the question. - slijin [more]

Re: Clarification for Bumpers?

Per R22:
"BUMPERS must be located entirely within the BUMPER ZONE, which is the volume contained
between two virtual horizontal planes, 4 in. above the floor and 12 in. above the floor, in reference
to the ROBOT standing normally on a flat floor. BUMPERS do not have to be parallel to the floor."

So yes, you can use brackets to attach your bumpers. However, they "must attach to the FRAME PERIMETER of the ROBOT with a rigid fastening system to form a tight, robust connection to the main structure/frame"
