It's not that straightforward.

According to the rules, the game piece only has to be released by the possessing robot and fully supported by the peg, with the peg through the center hole of the tube for it to be considered hanging - which means that your robot could be touching the tube, as long as the tube is fully supported by the peg and no other rules are violated and the robot is not still in possession of the tube.

I would still ask the Q&A if you're unsure.
