Please take a look at the FIRST Q&A, especially this thread: http://forums.usfirst.org/showthread.php?t=8159
There is no "80 inch cylinder" rule. That was just an EXAMPLE of one shape that will pass.
The rule can be rephrased as this: if you were to project all points of the robot onto the ground (i.e. a horizontal plane), would there exist any two points which are more than 80 inches apart? If the answer is yes, then the robot is too big.
