<R11>Conifguration Question

You're right. You can even use the 60" dimension as your width if you design your robot to flop over at the beginning of the match.

True, but pay attention to:

<R17> ...The flag holder must be permanently mounted to the ROBOT such that when the ROBOT is in any PLAYING CONFIGURATION and the FLAG is in the flag holder, the FLAG is approximately vertical and the top of the FLAG is 75 inches above the floor.

The definition of PLAYING CONFIGURATION is

... after the MATCH has started, and the ROBOT has deployed mechanisms, moved away from the starting location ...

so you'd need to mount the flag holder perpendicular to the running (flopped) base. I bet that would confuse a few queuers!
