I would have to go back and review the 2013 rules to have an opinion. But this isn't 2013 so that really doesn't matter.
The 2016 rules do not reference an "normal configuration". R22 refers to the robot standing normally on a flat floor with configuration unspecified. As opposed to standing on a batten or other obstacle.
