Starting Configuration is the way YOUR robot starts the match, irrespective of placement on the field.
--Everything inside the Frame Perimeter
--Everything under the height limit of 54"

What you're looking for is G7.

B. not in contact with a BOULDER staged on the MIDLINE,
C. the only item left on the FIELD by the DRIVE TEAM,
D. confined to its STARTING CONFIGURATION,
E. fully contained by the opposite half of the FIELD from their TOWER, and
i. breaking the plane of the AUTO LINE, or
ii. inside the COURTYARD, in contact with both the CASTLE WALL and GUARDRAIL.
Only one (1) ROBOT per ALLIANCE, known as the “spy bot,” is allowed to start each MATCH in this position.

See the bold text.

There is no robot-robot distance (other than that the alliances aren't hitting each other).
