Don't over think "normal". You take your robot in whatever operating configurations it might have and set it on level ground. If your bumpers are not in the bumper zone, your robot is not legal. So anything extending to the ground raising the bumpers out of the zone would be illegal. It is up to the team to show all operating configurations to the inspector.

While not specific to this question, if you have an illegal configuration during a match, and it is noticed by the referee, the best result you can hope for is being told to fix it and have your robot reinspected.
