if someone really knows this rule well, would they please give us a clarification.

, which doesn't exactly match your scenario.
However, IMO (which is worth nothing) if, by transitivity, a Robot supported by a robot supported by a Game Piece - is supported by a Game piece, then, also by transitivity, a Robot supported by a game piece supported by a Robot - is supported by a Robot.
You should ask the Q&A if they agree.
