At 3:30, would this hanging method be legal?
Don't worry about which zones the robot is in, just the zones it is contacting. The location of the robot doesn't matter at all until the match ends and they check your height.

In your "hook bar 1 and pull up" scenario, the robot touches zone 0, then zone 0 and a bar in zone 1, then only a bar in zone 1, coming to rest with the lowest point of the robot being contained in zone 1. Scenario-bot scores 10 points for its alliance.
