R23: Bumper Articulation

I've noticed this rule, and was wondering if anyone has a good interpretation.

Quote:

BUMPERS may not be articulated (specifically, R23 is assessed relative to the FRAME PERIMETER).

We want to build bumpers that are C-shaped, and "hinge" slightly at the edges so that the mounting harware can clear the robot. As long as the hinges sections are fastened to the robot, would this be valid?

See attached picture.
