I think this is a GREAT rule. In the past the rule was that robots had to fit inside a certain box. There was all sorts of confusion about orientation of the robot inside the box, and how the box shifted, etc. It lead to lots of diagrams and complex measurements.
Now the rule is simple - if any two points on the robot, measured parallel to the ground, are more than 80" apart, the robot is too big.
