yes but assuming that robot is approximately 38 X 28 the front (or back, which ever end is where the gripper is at the start of the game) of the robot would be about 10 inches from the corner of the 72 X 72 inch box. now add about 34 inches for the distance from the front to the arm. now your down to only about 57 inches for the actual arm. im sure you have done the math it just looks like it will be close and i wasnt sure if you had thought about that rule.
