"The rule should indicate that the tower is not to be interfered with ...so that robots can hang... a simple touch of the tower is not interference ...especially when no robot is even trying to hang..."

But where do you distinguish between a tap and a push? An accidental tap, for some teams' hanging mechanisms can cause disaster. The rules are for the safety of all robots, and are extremely needed. Hanging is already hard enough to do, so why would you add this extra obstacle? Some team could tap the tower "accidently" and say, "It was just a tap, we didn't mean it..." but it still could result in serious damage. Staying away from the tower is a good idea in my opinion.
