Re: 84 inch diameter vertical right cylindrical volume ?

Take a soda can. Barring stuff around the base and top, it is a vertical right cylindrical volume. (You could also wrap paper around that can for a better impression.) Now expand it to 90" high and an 84" diameter. Fit in it.

As for the question on tipping, I can't find anything saying tipped robots are penalized for going out of their volume. I also can't find anything the other way. Q&A it and see.
