We go through so many batteries that we would never think to charge the battery while on the robot. So orientation is not an issue for us.
Regarding the battery mounting rule:

R33 The ROBOT battery must be secured such that it will not dislodge should the ROBOT be turned over or placed in any arbitrary orientation.

"arbitrary orientation" includes turning the robot upside down. Basically, once secured, there is no way to remove the battery. All 6 sides of the battery must be restrained.
Some people use "compression" to hold the battery (squeeze the sides of the battery). I personally don't like it. I would much rather see a strap across the top.
Force yourself now, today, to learn one new thing each day. When you lay down on your fluffy pillow at night, before you say your prayers, ask yourself if you have learned anything new. If the answer is "NO" then you better get up and find something. - Al Skierkiewicz [more]
