Only if you have a rectangular robot. A circular robot could be 35" in diameter. A triangular robot, if equilateral, could be 37" on a side.

If the perimeter were increased in the future, I think the answer to "How do you fit a robot through a doorway?" will be the same as the answer to "How do you fit a 6' robot in a 5.5' crate?" back in 2007: Plan ahead.
