Where the arm might stick 4 or 5 feet outside the robot to place the top tube?

That is to say, if you only have a pole sticking out the front of your robot, can you assume the pole is extended along a diagonal of that square and is limited to something like 90"? Or do the edges of the square have to be parallel to the sides of your robot and you're limited to 72"?

38 inch robot plus 60 inch arm equals 98 inches which is more than 72 inches.

i really belive that the 72 in limit only applies to the footprint, that means that arms could extend farther.
