The frame perimeter is a vertically-oriented (ie - perpendicular to a level floor supporting your robot in a natural resting state) infinitely long surface wrapped around the outside of your robot's frame, connecting all of the exterior vertices of the frame in order to form the smallest convex polygon possible (round robots have infinite vertices). There are only two directions of consequence: inside and outside. The GDC would hardly care what you do inside the frame perimeter. Therefore, the rule must be referring to the direction of "outside" the frame perimeter.

I think the key word here is "beyond" ...
