Re: Q&A response - new interpretation of R16

Please reread the Q&A response that this thread is about. The rule itself is not about a cylinder... that is provided only as an example. As it turns out, there are degenerate cases that satisfy the rule without fitting in the cylinder. One such case is an 80" equilateral triangle. The actual way the rule will be interpreted is that no two points on your robot can be more than 80" apart. If it's too confusing, forget about the cylinder entirely.
