In my opinion it should be a simple task to accomplish, just have low hanging rigid bar similar to the field's bar, or as similar as you can make it. I think a lot of people are over complicating the problem, thinking that it will be hard to have something that other robot's will be able to grab, but you know what the need to grab originally so just copy that design as close as you can, you should be able to have robots hang from you if your hanging from the bar.
