Re: Bumper part of perimeter?
No, the bumpers aren't considered part of the FRAME PERIMETER.

The bumper does not count for the frame perimeter's maximum length.

Quote:
total length of the FRAME PERIMETER sides may not exceed 112 in.
Quote:
FRAME PERIMETER: the polygon defined by the outer-most set of exterior vertices on the ROBOT (without the BUMPERS attached) that are within the BUMPER ZONE. To determine the FRAME PERIMETER, wrap a piece of string around the ROBOT at the level of the BUMPER ZONE - the string describes this polygon.

Re: Bumper part of perimeter?
Just keep in mind that the bumpers do count as part of 54 inch cyc.
