If not, you're perfectly fine (this would make the slot you are referring to, as well as the long robot, perfectly legal). During design we often likened the poles to the bases of the minibot poles from 2011, in regards to attachment rules.
All emphases mine. I think I understand what you mean to say, but to clarify, are you missing a negative in here? (Thus the correct interpretation is that if you can be pushed away along some vector, you're legal.)
