Well, not quite. Being in a level's airspace is ok. It's touching the pyramid in more than 2 zones that isn't. For example, touching the floor (level 0), the bar in level 1, and the bar in level 2. Simply touching the floor and the bar in level 1 is ok, even if your robot is occupying some of level 2's airspace. The robot just can't touch the pyramid in more than 2 zones at once.
