By our measurements it is about 29inches long while inclined and I'm just double checking that that would be a legal measurement.

Containment within the frame perimeter is only required at the initial configuration of the robot, so if you start with the treads in that configuration, that should be OK. Note however that the bumpers have to remain in the bumper zone in any configuration you normally assume.
