So it would look like a large box placed on top of a smaller box that has a 112" perimeter. Yes, the whole robot would fit within a 54"-dia, 60"-high cylinder.
Thanks.
No, if it starts that way. Yes if it expands out to those dimensions (subject to the 54" diameter rule) after the start of the match.

R02 Defines what a FRAME PERIMETER is, R03 limits the FRAME PERIMETER total length.
