Yes probably a Q&A question. I guess it depends on the definition being used for perimeter, some dictionaries state it means the 2D shape as if looked at from above but others make no distinction and count following a line around all outside edges (3D) including a vertical portion of the edges as being pat of the perimeter. But this may also count as being another 'side' of the robot.
