The official definition--SUSPENDED: A ROBOT only in contact with an ELEVATED ROBOT and/or a SUSPENDED ROBOT shall be considered SUSPENDED.
My interpretation- While I like your thinking out side the box, my gut tells me there will be a ruling forthcoming from the GDC that this manuver will be illegal. The intent of the rule is to have the 2nd robot hanging from the robot that is hanging from the tower.
