It's the same as a robot supporting another robot—it doesn't matter where the supporting robot is, as long as the supported robot has completed the climb correctly and ended up in the correct position at scoring time.
This is a departure from previous years, but that's fine. Anything that eliminates the need for a referee to try to determine support is probably a net positive. (Especially considering that referees have to assess every climb sequence anyway.)
