The thumbnail is question would only be legal if it was oriented so that it's largest length was 80" and no other part of the robot was outside of the cylinder.

You do know that the cylinder reference is a reference only, right? Yeah, it works, but the rule is 80" point to point. Easy test: Two posts, set 80" apart. Put robot between in all possible orientations that come close (e.g. arm out). If any can't fit, they need to be hard-stopped or programmed out.
