The gap is 13 inches but there will be a beam above the bumpers connecting the two sides so that the frame is technically all closed.

edit the two shorter sides are both 6 inches.

Before I answer...
What is your Frame Perimeter? Read R01, particularly the blue box. Now read R22, including the blue box, and R29G. I'll explain in the spoiler, but I'd like you to read those rules first.

Spoiler for The Answer:

Your frame perimeter is a convex polygon formed by the outside corners of your robot, per R01. R22 says that you have to have 6" of bumper on each side of each corner of the frame perimeter, and R29G says that bumpers have to be mounted to the frame perimeter. The portion of the pictured bumpers inside the points are not protecting 6" of frame perimeter, and they aren't mounted to it. The robot portrayed has a rectangular frame perimeter, and the bumpers aren't going to be legal like that.
