If you have a rectangular frame, the width limit is thus the width of the side you cross. I don't know what they would rule for a round robot.
It would have been much cleaner if they had simply defined a horizontal envelope as they have in past years, e.g. 56x66 or 28x38 + 14 in any one direction at a time. IMHO, the "can't cross a second perimeter edge" language is confusing when they define the perimeter as the path made by a piece of string stretched around the frame. Obviously, I'm only crossing that string on one side. But whatever. Since we'll have a rectangular frame, I'm confident I know the limits of the appendages.

Which would indicate that you can't cross any edge if you have a circular robot...
