My biggest problem with this robot is they wedge themselves under the tower and use a rule meant for hanging to accomplish this task. Its clear they are not trying to hang early.

Your assessment of the 3" rule (R19) is completely wrong, as Sean pointed out. There are two very different provisions of R19, one for below the bumper zone and one for above.
As a member of a team who has a built a robot extremely similar in function to 469, I can say I have thought about that particular rule extensively.
