Rule R-16 question

In rule R-16 of chapter 8(the robot), it states

"Once the MATCH has started, the ROBOT may assume a PLAYING CONFIGURATION thatexceeds the size dimensions specified in Rule <R11>. While in the PLAYING CONFIGURATION, the ROBOT may expand up to a maximum horizontal dimension of 80 inches (e.g. all parts of the ROBOT must fit within an imaginary 80-inch-diameter upright cylinder). There are no height limits for a ROBOT in its PLAYING CONFIGURATION at any time after the start of the MATCH".

the question our team has is does the 80" requirement include the ball if it is in posession of our robot.
