The definition of "frame perimeter" in Section 1 and the bumper requirements of <R7> make it clear that the bumpers are outside of the frame perimeter.

After rereading <R11> I see Kent's point about the minibot being allowed to overhang the frame perimeter. I would submit an official Q&A if that's really what you have. I would also rethink your design because if part of your minibot's sticking out there unprotected then it's liable to sustain damage during play.
