Also realize that the dimensions of everything that remains after you take off your bumpers (including minor protrusions of things fastening your gusset plates) must fit in the 28x38 sizing box. The minor protrusions clause relates to the bumper/robot interface, but gives you no grace on the 28x38 size limitations.

This is the reason most teams size their frame perimeter at 27x37 or so maximum. This also helps for cases where the upper parts of your robot which may be wide and 'out of square' since it has to fit inside the box also.
