The allowable "frame perimeter" is based on the size of the entire robot, think of it as a box of a certain size that the robot needs to fit into. It is not dependent on the actual size of the frame/chassis/drivetrain.

If you apply that logic you are basically ruling all cantilevered wheel drivetrains ie WCD illegal( excluding bumper mounts)

This is a fun, valuable learning project rather then something that will be ever used in a competition.

This is a terrible style of drivetrain to use in any season( even in 2015 were it is unnecessary) so I don't believe they are intending for it to be legal.
