This does not look ok to me. I'm assuming the blue parts are bumpers and the dimensions refer to the outer extreme bumper dimensions and not the elements/sides of the frame perimeter.
You must have 8" of frame on either side of each vertex. With an 8" bumper segment where the 8" also covers the corner space, you would only have about 5" of frame at the vertex.
Also, I see that the outer dimensions, which include the bumper are 28x38. Since happens to be the max dimensions of the robot *without* the bumpers, I think you may be confused, as this robot is about 6" smaller than it could be. That being said, I would recommend planning for no bigger than 27x37, because this gives you room for bolt heads and things being a bit 'out of square, because the inspector's sizing box (and the inspectors) are unforgiving about size (and weight)
