I don't think so. The contact is to be bumper-bumper instead of bumper-tongue (<R18>E) and the hitch is to be on the outside edge of the robot (<R18>D) and the the trailer must be easily removed after the match by removing its pin (<G36> and <R18>C).
It's possible, but it'll be pretty hard. You also have <R08> to consider, which includes the bumper perimeter.

Feelings are like the laws of physics: if some one feels offended or alienated, then they are offended or alienated - it doesnt matter why you dropped a hammer, if it falls on someones head they will be hurt. You cant expect it to not hurt, because you did not intend to hurt them. - KenWittlief [more]
