How?
Definition of hanging: HANGING – a GAME PIECE is HANGING when it is fully supported by a PEG through its center hole and released by the POSSESSING ROBOT. If a GAME PIECE on the floor is preventing a GAME PIECE that has been hung on a bottom PEG from becoming fully supported (that is, if the floor GAME PIECE was not there, the hung GAME PIECE would be scored) then that GAME PIECE will still be counted as scored.
Fully supported suggests that none of the weight my rest on the robot, only on the peg. So, even though the robot could have pulled away and it would have stayed the same (which 148 did), I am inclined to think that the tube is still partially supported by the robot.
If you were to draw a force vector diagram I know the robot would be exerting a force on the game piece.
