Per section 3.1.5.2 in the Game section, each level ends above the bar. Thus the 30" bar is in level 1.
The natural question from this, however, is what about the airspace for a claw that wraps around the top of a bar? Well, the rules state contact with the pyramid, not the presence of the robot inside a level. This was confirmed by a Q&A response last week:

Q. Figure 3-4 on page 28/90 shows Level 2 just above the horizontal bar. Since the rule states no more than two zones why is it (or is it) permissible to hook the pipe while still on the floor and if so how far into level 2 can you go? Does that include the side pipes?
A. The requirements in Section 3.1.5.2 A and B pertain to the ROBOT'S contact with the PYRAMID and/or floor within each Level, not the ROBOT'S presence in the physical space of the Level.
