Just to be picky about it (the way your LRI will do), everything must be inside the frame perimeter at the start of each match. Since there can be some small gaps behind parts of the bumper, the frame perimeter and not the bumpers should be used as the datum.

Your Robot Inspector will look for your robot's ability to keep all appendages inside the frame perimeter with the bumpers off, if he is doing a good inspection job!
