It doesn't say that your robot must have a flat rectangular base, but rather that it must fit in a box with a flat rectangular base, and maintain those dimensions until after the start of the match. The way I see it is that the top of something remains the top forever, even if you drop it on its side, so the base in the box is your base in the match. Nonetheless, your interpretation is still valid. We will probably see one more Q&A question come up that will further clarify.
