Hanging from the tower and climbing onto the platform are two different animals. You asked about climbing onto the platform so that is what I'll reply to.

If you approach it as it was done in the video, and we all know that the video is not the true measure for the game, I say it will never happen. (Please quote me on that when some team full of brilliant students actually do it) You see, in the video, a robot climbed up the bump, then drove along the 12" wide top and finally onto the platform. I just don't see that ever happening.
Now, if you could have your robot pull it's self up to above the platform and then swing onto the platform, that I think just might work.
