My guesstimate of the slide extension was 17" beyond the front bumper, so your 55" would become ~57". So I think the example robot was just outside a 60" diameter cylinder. Either way, it's close.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
