This is not necessarily true
It's important to keep in mind the difference between bumpers and BUMPERS. Some bumpers are not BUMPERS. Bumpers that are angled such that if extended infinitely would pass through the robot chassis are not BUMPERS, because they are not affixed to the BUMPER PERIMETER. As such, nothing attached to the angled pieces on Carmen's front can ever be considered a BUMPER, so even though the corners of the frame could be protected on both sides by pool noodles and fabric, they won't be protected by BUMPERS, and thus run afoul of <R08-I>.
