I think a robot in full trim should be able to hang off of one of the vertical support posts. I'd imagine, that the tower and it's mounting system was designed with a safe working load of about 900lbs or more. (900 lbs being derived from 6 robots hanging from the tower in some strange crazy illegal instance) The only thing you may experience while hanging is some slight warping of the bar, maybe a half inch to an inch at most.
