Re: Leaning against vertical bar

Here's the Q and A that has me worried:

Section: 7.6 Status: Answered Date Answered: 1/16/2004
Q: If a robot is SUPPORTED only by the horizontal bar, but is
stabilized by being in contact with a vertical bar, is it attached to
the bar? No mechanism grips the vertical bar, and the robot would
still hang if the vertical bar was "removed."
A: Yes.
_________________________________________________
From the manual:
<T04> Robots may not intentionally:
• Attach themselves to the vertical supports of the pull-up bar
system;
__________________________________________________

My interpretation of this answer is that if the hook is in the corner it is being stabilized by the vertical bar and therefore considered attached which is not allowed.
