You can't lawyer the word "horizontal" or "vertical". My dictionary defines both as being in relationship to the ground.

Horizontal: "at right angles to the vertical; parallel to level ground."
Vertical: "being in a position or direction perpendicular to the plane of the horizon; upright; plumb."
I guess what might be troubling them is what viewpoint are the rules looking at? Robot-centric or Human-centric? If it is from robot, then the cylinder obviously tilts with the robot; if it is from human(which I think it is) then it stays on the ground even if the robot tilts.
