And also, is it legal to just lift youself up to the first rung, touch the second, and than grasp yourself up to the third rung

Can anyone respond to this?
1. As long as the robot you are assisting does not invalidate the climb in some way (eg not touching the bars on the way up/touching more than 2 at once/ touching 2 non sequential), this should be valid. Q97 and Q107 in the official Q&A address this.
2. I'm not entirely sure what you are asking about here, could you try to be a little bit more specific about what you mean by "climbing together"?
3. This is legal only if one (or both) of the robots is (are) touching the pyramid this is per G33

For your last question, there is nothing that requires you must be supported by each rung however (you must, however, contact them), you must release the first rung before touching the third because otherwise you would have violated the requirement of only touching two consecutive levels at once.

But yes, please do look through the Q&A and Rulebook
