I personally hate the wording of this. How about a robot more than 14 inches tall gets pushed up against the midfield barrier. Their tall frame is a device in a fixed position right? What then, are they DQ'ed?
Also, let's not forget the event where a robot puts boxes in front of the barrier to keep an opponent from going through. Then the opponent (say 13 inches tall) slams into these boxes and they push against the bar.
This rule is trying to stop half the things that will be going on in the game.
