i just watched that match. How is it that the one member on the blue alliance with the really thin arm/claw is compliant with the 80" measurement? The ball when grasped at least 2x looked to be a minimum of 15" from the front of the robot. I can't see it exactly but pretty much any measurement that goes over 50% of the ball length is going to be very close to that 80".
