No, you have to satisfy both requirements -- touch only two, and touch only sequentially. If you let go of 1 before letting go of zero, you're now touching the set [0,2], which is non-sequential.

As far as I can tell, there is no rule that says you must be in contact with the pyramid at the time this position is measured in order to receive points.
I realize this is not a common scenario, but we do have a potential climbing apparatus that makes suspension largely trivial, so I'm curious. I'm not claiming it'll happen often, but there were a few suspensions in 2010.

Ah, I understand now. If you're referring to robots picking up other robots from the ground and then lifting them above certain zones, I can only answer with this:
I don't care. It's not going to happen with sufficient frequency* to matter the slightest bit to my team.
*I'd be shocked if it happens at all...
