<G18> - Maximum dimension

Quote:
<G18> ROBOT Orientation - ROBOTS must start the MATCH with their long (maximum) dimension
in a vertical orientation. After the start of the MATCH, ROBOTS may change their orientation
such that the long dimension is either vertical or horizontal. Refer to Rule <R08> and Rule
<R17> to determine how this affects the use of STANDARD BUMPERS and FLAGS.
The way I read this, if you built your robot to be 28"x38"x12", you would be required to stand your robot up so the 38" dimension is vertical.
I don't think this is what FIRST meant at all, but that's the way I read it. Thoughts?
