It would be helpful to allow the 5 inches of the vertical pole above a corner to be considered part of the lower zone if the robot is touching any other part of the pyramid in the lower zone.

Although this would be helpful when it comes to simplifying designs, it seems as if the intent, based upon Figure 3-4 of the manual, is that any part of the pyramid located above the horizontal bars making up the corners is to be designated as the next level. If you want to grab onto the corners for climbing, you're going to need to be careful to avoid the vertical pole. That's part of the design challenge.
