The ABS would be considered part of the robot. You can't leave anything behind.

Now, if you put a bunch of discs on the floor by the pyramid, and drove onto the discs, then you would no longer be in contact with level 0. If you then touched bar 1, that would satisfy sequential. You could then touch bar 2.
