Visualizing the 54in cylinder
I made a quick graphic to help me visualize the 54in diameter circle, which is very restricting on climbing. Even more so now that the bumpers appear to count towards this restriction.*

I thought I would share this picture so other teams can take a rough cut at what mechanisms might work and which ones might not. You could even print and then cut out the extra perimeter circle and the robot profiles and move them around to help figure out how your robot can move around the pyramid.
