Robot Contact Question

The section on our robot that is open for the "feeding" of the balls is obiously not protected by bumpers. 10 Inches above the ground (outside the BUMPER ZONE) we would like to have an aluminium crossbar, spanning the width of this opening (about 26 inches) and set back about 2 or 3 inches inside of the BUMPER PERIMETER. We question whether or not this would violate the rules in the fact that, if something contacted our robot inside of the "feed" opening, would this be a violation of rules, on our part or another robot's?


Here is an attemped front profile view (B = Bumpers)

/////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\ <----(This is the crossbar) \
