parallel to the floor just means your robot is at an angle of 0. this is fine.

The only example given is with purely the bumpers being lifted without moving the entire robot.

(updated)
I don't think you'd be violating this rule, but it violates others. G14 specifically.

G14. Don’t climb on each other. ROBOTS may neither fully nor partially support the weight of other
ROBOTS strategically or repeatedly.
Violation: RED CARD.
