Al, I am just having fun now, but I disagree per the above definition. When "wrapping" an oddly shaped present you would cover each segment as I have stated for placing the string around the robot.

Except that paper would not be touching the interior vertices. Instead it would be touching the outside vertices of the concave polygon. Any frame that is a concave polygon is illegal because all of the vertices on the polygon are not touched when you wrap a string around the bumper perimeter. I don't like the rule but I also don't like several other rules, doesn't mean I can break them.
If you want to align yourself consider making an asymmetrical frame and deploying a single bar out. That way half your force is taken by the bumpers. Alternately if you are just worried about another robot ramming it you can place it up in the air and only deploy it when you are going to score. Or you can just build it strong enough to take hit... you know, like we had to do back in the day when we didn't have these fancy bumper things.
