It causes your frame perimeter to be over 112", so you'll be cutting it down. Whether you do it now or at the event is up to you, but I highly suggest doing it now. You could do that by just taking 1/2" off in one direction, instead of 1" in all 4 directions, if being a square isn't critical.

Ask any team who had to redo their robot after a bolt head didn't fit into a size box in previous years how rigid the inspectors are... there's a reason many teams design slightly undersize.
