Re: "Attaching" to the vertical pole.

Quote:
HANGING – A ROBOT is considered HANGING from the Pull-Up Bar if it is directly SUPPORTED by the horizontal bar and is not touching the carpet, platforms, or goals.

SUPPORTED – If the “supporting object” is removed, the ball would not remain SCORED or CAPPED and/or the ROBOT would not remain HANGING.

So yes, if you are leaning on the vertical bar and require that to stay hanging, then you are not supported by the h-bar alone.

Q: Can a robot use the support poles of the pull-up bar to climb and reach the pull-up bar and then release it to stay hanging?

A: No.
Nor are you allowed to climb the v-bars.
