The red areas are the "blocking spaces where balls can't be thrown. All measurements are ballpark (within 1-2" accurate, Proof of Concept)

The robot fits in the "box" and hugs at least half of the trailer. Weight issues might be a problem, but if you make the shroud light enough and place the batteries and heavy stuff in front you might be OK.
Are those short segments adjacent to the trailer proper 6" minimum lengths? (You count the plywood, not the foam.)

Is 2/3 of the BUMPER PERIMETER enclosed by bumpers? I think so, if the short pieces are at least 6".

BUMPER PERIMETER is defined by the outermost corners of the robot. The "outer" location for the trailer hitch is not defined.
