Your entire robot must fit into the 80 inch cylinder including any arms. If you go back to Stud Man Dans post, you will see that you would only be able to reach about 34 inches max in front of a robot that has the long dimension (38in) on the side of the robot. Seems like there will be a lot of forklifts/elevators this year.
