Remember that the FRAME PERIMETER is defined by wrapping a string around the robot in the BUMPER ZONE. (Why the GDC doesn't add one word to that definition, "tightly", is beyond me, but that's what they mean; that's the way it's been interpreted ever since the concept was created.) This means your FRAME PERIMETER extends across the space from one leg of the 'L' to the other leg. 8" on each end of that space must support a bumper - how are you going to do that?
