This is
not the correct way to check. Our robot (see signature) is very close to being over the 54" limit, I think we were within about 1/2 an inch. The maximum point method will pass illegal robots. See the below picture for an explanation:

At Fingerlakes, after an Inspector tried this method, we informed him why it was wrong and they pulled out a prinout of a 54" circle, which they projected upwards with an ruler. This seems like the correct method to use.
Man, Earthquakes all over the place, Volcanos and clouds of ashes, S&Ps down 25 pts! and now 1114 is first seed and going to probably pick 469... yep, id say the end of the world is near - scessama [more]
