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.

The interpretation of this answer depends on which bar is refered to when the person asks "is it attached to the bar". Proper grammar would mean it refers to the last thing which would be the vertical bar, which is why you beleive that that the answers are contridictory. However, when I read it the first time (the first few times, actually), I read it to refer to the horizontal bar. If the person answering the question read it this way to, you would have a non-contradictory answer (and the one FIRST intended).
