Rules Concerning Extending Parts Outside the Frame Perimeter

Can I get a confirmation on the legality of my interpretation of the following rules?

1. There are 2 maximum volume constraints which a robot cannot exceed at any time. These volumes must also include the bumpers.

2. Within these volume constraints, there is also a frame perimeter, defined by a robot's bumpers, which must completely surround a robot at the beginning of a match.

3. Lastly, a robot also may never at any time during a match to go past the volume in which it has passed inspection.

However, if a robot passes inspection with a volume GREATER than the frame perimeter (ie with a robot part extended past the bumpers), then, after the beginning of a match, said robot can extend past the frame perimeter so long as it doesn't pass the volume in which it has passed inspection.

My team is using this technicality to make it easier for us to guide the gears dropped from the chute in the Return Loading stations into a container. Does anyone know if this has been officially confirmed?
