so by the wording you could have a robot quite a bit larger than you thought, however this'll probably be fixed.

So yes, for now, it does not say that the center of the 'bot is the center of the cylinder, just that it has to fit IN the cylinder. Nifty circumvention, but I wouldn't bet on it.
I'm not 100% sure what you mean by this, if you look at Madison's drawing it's pretty clear. The rule states that the robot at all times must fit in a 80" cylinder, no mater where the bot is located in the cylinder it must fit.
