So it's ok to sit on top of a robot, or pin them against a stationary goal, or against the second level, or against the vertical bars, as long as you aren't on the carpet? What about grabbing them with your arm and lifting them off the carpet (assuming no damage done).
That certainly doesn't seem to be the intent of the rule.
