Last I've checked, there are no restrictions on using appendages, either in the 14" horizontal allowance or in the vertical allowances, to touch the ground from the bridge. (There are restrictions on whether leaving said appendages touching the ground results in a balanced bridge.)
There is a rule about the vertical projection of the robot. I didn't know if having a pnuematic cylinder lift the robot up count for breaking the vertical projection
