In the STARTING CONFIGURATION, the ROBOT must constrain itself such that no part of the ROBOT extends

fastener ends, rivets, etc.

Nowhere does it state a horizontal limit.
It states the horizontal limit right there. "no part of the robot extends outside the vertical projection of the frame perimeter." That means the imaginary vertical wall that is 20" from your frame. There is no rule however stating that vertical height limits are any different in starting configuration than they are during tele-op.
