Bumpers on the inside are allowed, but will not count as standard bumpers, as they are not mounted to the BUMPER PERIMETER, and as such will not cover 2/3 of robot. Also not that you can't just attach the bumpers at the vertices and have them along the imaginary line that is the BUMPER PERIMETER, as they wouldn't be supported along the entire back side and violate letter M of the bumper rules.
