[R2]'s blue box describes a "string" test that will define your frame perimeter. All of [R19] is in reference to this frame perimeter and not the actual robot frame. That the frame is only 6" wide around your front wheels doesn't have anything to do with how the frame perimeter is defined. I encourage you to seek out further advice before moving forward with 6" of covered frame perimeter corners.

It looks like an extremely easy fix though, given a great and simple design.
