From the glossary:
"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."

As soon as auton begins and your robot moves in any way, it is then in playing configuration for the remainder of the match, including when climbing.
Okay, thank you for the clarification on that. I was trying to determine how the robots climbed in the Catalyst game simulator, and it seemed like they would have to extend past the cylinder by the way they climb. Then again, they also have to defy gravity to swing back in place to climb further than the first pyramid rung.
