First bullet in the bumper rules section:
<R35> Bumpers must be designed as shown in Figure 5-1.

So I wouldn't think about desiging your own bumpers if you want the advantage of weight and size(if size is an advantage).

Yes, i didn't make my point clear: FIRST isn't restricting the design any more than in past years regarding bumpers, but are instead providing more options
