Meaning of "Normal Configuration"?

[RedHeadRobotics]

"NORMAL CONFIGURATION – The physical configuration and orientation of the ROBOT when the MATCH is started. This is the state of the ROBOT immediately before being enabled by the Field Management System, before the ROBOT takes any actions, deploys any mechanisms, or moves away from the starting location. This configuration is static, and does not change during a single MATCH (although it may change from MATCH to MATCH)."

<R10> Normal Configuration is 28" x 38" x 60"


I pulled this definition because I am confused by this definition. The red section makes me think that the point is like in the 2008 game and 2007 games where as long as you started in the box, you could expand past it. However, I do not know if the blue section makes it so that we can't extend past where we start, like in 2009.

Or does <R10> mean that we can expand slightly as long as at the most we are within the Normal Configuration size?

I am waiting to post this on the official forums, but if someone can give me some direction it would greatly aid our designs, which can be reliant on this.

Thanks!
