No, this is NOT within the spirit of the rule as I understand it. The robot in your drawing clearly has a length (front to back) in excess of 72 inches. However, with the current wording of the rule, it would be OK if your robot was round because the "front" of the robot would be poorly defined.
It will be interesting to see how this is handled in the updates and the Q&A. It won't be officially answered anywhere else.
