Your robot must be in a legal playing configuration at all times. If you're touching the pyramid, the pyramid configuration rules apply and you're legal as long as you can fit a 54" diameter, 84" tall cylinder around your robot in SOME orientation. It's really rather difficult to be outside that cylinder.

To the OP,

It's legal, but what is your purpose in doing this? I feel I should point out that if you're touching the second level and the floor, you have an invalid climb and will need to stop touching the second level before you can score climb points.
