It's legal. The rule makes no requirement that the virtual cylinder remain fixed relative to the robot. An infinitely thin post with an infinitely thin 6" long stick rotating about a pivot on it satisfies all of the rules. The virtual cylinder will simply oscillate back and forth, with the vertical pole moving from one edge to the other and back.
