Not from the center of your robot. The idea is that if you had a cylinder that is 60" in diameter, your robot would fit inside it in all configurations. Another way to think if it is that if you find the two points that are farthest away from eachother (horizontally), they would be no greater than 60" apart. That's a little confusing, but the best way to describe it.
