Again with the allow vs. dis-allow! IT IS ALLOWED <-- as far as I can see there is NO RULE AGAINST IT which is the same thing.

Will you be considered HANGING? Words mean what words mean. If you are touching the platform (its sides, its top, or even its BOTTOM I suppose), the you are NOT HANGING.

I hate raising my voice, but sometimes folks need to be SHOUTED AT.

P.S. On a lighter note:
Q: What if you snagged a thread of the carpet on your robot and it stuck to you as you lifted, would your be HANGING?

A: Yes but you would be disqualified for damage to the field and you may also get gigged for being an entanglement threat ;-)
