I for one am a little weary on the idea that drivers are going to easily be able to grab onto my robot in the right place while begin many feet away and not have a clear line of sight. I don't want a driver to miss and then accidentally rip out my electronics or a piece of the robot that wasn't designed to hold 150 lbs.
So yes adding a bar is an easy solution to getting robots suspended, but you have to think about the trust you are putting into another team to not rip your robot to shreds. Not that you shouldn't trust other teams but when it comes to driving robots, as wells as driving a car in real life, i don't trust anyone to not make mistakes 100% of the time (myself included).
