Thanks!
Just look at your frame from a top view. Then from every point on the frame make an imaginary dot that is 20 inches away and then connect the dots. If your robot is circular then the diameter of your frame is about 35in...the diameter of the imaginary circle would be about 75in. ((75-35)/2=20in) You can have anything inside that circle. Your robot is probably not a circle, but the logic still applies.
