Think about that
I think you misunderstand the meaning of BUMPER ZONE. It refers to the entire region of the arena from 1" to 7" above the floor. Wherever your robot is, a slice of it exists within the BUMPER ZONE.

The BUMPER PERIMITER is closer to what you're talking about. However, it completely surrounds a robot at the BUMPER ZONE height, and no part of the robot may extend beyond it (with exceptions for the trailer hitch and the bumpers themselves, of course).
