I submitted a Q&A that I hope will clarify things. I think it depends on whether you have to project the frame perimeter down to the floor like you're talking about, or whether to approach things like the new R22 Blue Box and "virtually transpose the robot to a flat floor". The latter interpretation makes Ri3D likely legal, because it sure doesn't look like the arm sticks out too far when the lift is complete. Of course, the latter interpretation makes winch bots tricky, because if you tip backwards, your winch cable is suddenly 30" outside your frame perimeter. The projection method you're considering pretty much reverses the situation.
