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.

A: No.

Nor are you allowed to climb the v-bars.
