At the same time, a clearer definition of "PLAYING CONFIGURATION" needs to be requested as well. Is it a different playing configuration at every point in the movement of an arm that might exceed the 72" square?
If you're using a narrow arm that's centered on your robot and gets penalized, could you argue that by rotating the square 45º, your robot fits within THAT square?

I asked the question in Q&A; the response has not been posted yet.
The question about fitting diagonally into the 72 x 72 envelope has already been asked and answered in Q&A. Orientation does not matter, so yes a narrow arm plus your robot length can exceed 72 inches. (and I'm using every inch of that diagonal - another benefit of the octagonal frame which allows you to sit farther back in the diagonal).
