It's as simple as that people.

Common sense only goes so far, this is being heavily discussed in another thread.
To your conclusion, "if the answer is yes," you might get points, depending on what and how it is touching.

One must assume the intention of the chin-up bar is to do a chin-up.

If a person does a chin up, and is holding on to the bar with their chin over it, then a spotter comes over and holds their legs, the person is still supported DIRECTLY by the chin-up bar, but is also partially supported by the spotter.
If the person lets go, (detaches their direct support from the bar) the personal will fall, or the spotter will continue to hold them. However, if the spotter lets go the following could happen:
1) Person can not continue to hold and ends up with feet on the floor.
- Robot's mechanism is backdriven and the robots wheels come to the platform
2) Person continues to hold on to the bar, keeping their feet of the ground.
- Robot's mechanism hold on to the bar, keeping it's wheels of the ground.
