As far as a robot part, it would be legal as long as it stayed inside the 54" cylinder and started within the frame perimeter. But check the gameplay rules again.

Specifically, be VERY, VERY careful with G28 and G29. What those two say I leave to you to find out; however, the proposed device would have a minimum 75% chance of triggering at least one of those two, which would result in a rather hefty penalty (and the second time used would increase the penalty).
