So according to <G18>:
Quote:
|
<G18> ROBOT Orientation - ROBOTS must start the MATCH with their long (maximum) dimension in a vertical orientation. After the start of the MATCH, ROBOTS may change their orientation such that the long dimension is either vertical or horizontal. Refer to Rule <R08> and Rule <R17> to determine how this affects the use of STANDARD BUMPERS and FLAGS.

So at first glance, you would be okay to flip over once the match started. But then after looking at <R08>, it looks like the bumpers can only be on the 28"x38" sides. It also says that at least 2/3 of the perimeter of your bot needs to use bumpers. With the bumper zone defined as 2-6" vertical from the floor, you wouldn't be able to adequately bumper your robot once it fell over to play the game.
