so is this design legal?

Assuming the Blue are bumpers, all are at least 6 inches, and the indentation is 3 inches.
The rule says it all ... entire FRAME PERIMETER of the ROBOT (i.e. BUMPERS must wrap entirely around the ROBOT) ...

So no, not legal, since it does not wrap entirely around the robot. No gaps are allowed.
