With this exact design, Perses actually cannot fit legal bumpers on the intake side. This is easily remedied by making the robot a few inches wider-- we used the square kitbot configuration, which comes out to about 112" of perimeter, which is enough for you to add a few inches of width and have both a wider intake and a legal robot, both of which are great side effects

Edit: I just thought I'd add on some more relevant information. Jimmy is right-- the gap is about 12".
