I would put your odds of getting through inspection that way at about 5%, and your odds of having to be reinspected within a match or two at 99% when someone comments about it.

The big key here is: Frame Perimeter != robot frame. If you look at the attachment, the blue line is your robot frame as described. The red line is your Frame Perimeter. Bumpers are located on, and attach to, the Frame Perimeter.
