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. |
This is the most clear way I have heard it stated.... Any two points more than 80" apart? if so, fail (restating that was more for my own understanding than anything).
