I guess that depends on what they mean by "in relation to the ROBOT." if it's your bumpers than just by curling your robot so your wheels are 90 you can reach up to infinity.

Or maybe it's the max dimension at any time but that would only work if it were an 84" sphere and it's not. So I'm not sure how they want this to work, once you're curled up on the pyramid.
