I think you're confusing "length of metal in my robot's frame" with Frame Perimeter.

And I REALLY hope I'm right, because that could catch you.

So, here's my question to you: If you stretch a string around your robot right now, in the bumper zone, is it 120" or less? And, how wide is the gap currently? (And the side length, if you don't mind.)

Also, one other suggestion: read the rules on "support" of bumpers again.
