Your logic agrees with what I see in the manual.

A "flop-bot" isn't automatically in PLAYING CONFIGURATION before it flops. Section
8.2 DEFINITIONS of the manual has this to say:
"PLAYING CONFIGURATION - The physical configuration and orientation of the ROBOT while playing the game (i.e. after the MATCH has started, and the ROBOT has deployed mechanisms, moved away from the starting location, and/or interacted with the field, GAME PIECES, or other ROBOTS). This configuration is dynamic, and may change multiple times during the course of a single MATCH."
