The main issue you have is the 8" bumper per side-next-to-corner rule. You could have the corral reach over the bumpers and corral external to the robot (as 8" of bumper per side leaves only 10" for the ball to pass through).

and they'd have to lift the corral much higher to start the match within the frame perimeter.
