Don't fall over
Q15 clarified that "The vertical cylinder specified in [G23] is not coupled with the ROBOT'S orientation and is always vertical."

Q40 reiterated tha the horizontal volume requirement of [g23] is relative to the field (floor)

So, if you robot is more than 54 inches tall, and it falls over, it immediately violates G23 54" rule. That is a foul, and the other team gets 3 points. If it can't get back up, then it is a continuous violation, and the other team gets 30 points.
