In the book "Mobile Robots" by A.M.Flynn it suggests three bump sensors
which are activated by circular plastic skirt made out of acrylic
plastic. It even tells you how to bend the plastic.

The sensors are spaced at say 10, 2 and 6 o'clock
It also discusses the advantages of a circular cross section for
maneuverability as opposed to square or rectangular.

Does anyone know what happens if sensors are connected in parallel to
the Cybermaster?

What do you mean parallel?
I once connected 2 touch sensors to the same port and they worked like a logic OR if is that you are asking.
