We had this same argument/discussion today, and we came up with this from the Blue Box of <R01>:

The Robot must have a Frame Perimeter that is comprised of fixed, non-articulated structural elements of the Robot. The Frame Perimeter of a Robot is defined by the outer-most set of exterior verticies on the Robot that are within the Bumper Zone, which is between 2 and 10 in. from the floor. Minor protrusions no greater than ¼ in. such as bolt heads, fastener ends, and rivets are not considered part of the Frame Perimeter.
Emphasis mine, but we interpreted this as saying that the FP does NOT include bumpers, only the perimeter that can/will be COVERED by bumpers.
