Dave, read Eric's post again. He's saying that the bounding box is a square, but your robot must fit in it in ANY orientation. If you can fit such a square regardless of your orientation, then you are within <R16>. If there is some orientation such that you don't fit, then you are violating <R16>. As such, Eric's definition is precisely <R16>.
