What you are reading is poorly written. The reasoning behind the rule is for flop down robots. FIRST does not intend for teams to have to "stand on their heads" to start the game. If all 4 wheels are on the floor and you fit into the foot print then you are OK. If you are uncertain please post the question in the Q&A forum on the FIRST website.
