Angling robot while climbing

We've been trying to design our robot's climbing mechanism and ran into a possible rule problem. The rules say in G23 that the cylinder is relative to the ROBOT. And the illustration shows the cylinder rotating based on the robot's base. I attached some shots of our plan for climbing and we angle up, then extend arms. Does the back of our robot count as the base once we angle it? Or do our arms have to stay within 54 inches upward? Or does the cylinder not change?
