There were robots that could lift themselves up using the vertical bars (1403, 25, etc). Lifting from the top bar (by far the most common design). Or some oddballs like 1100 who extended an arm and grasped the platform and flipped their robot on to the platform & 219 who would inflate an air bag on the top of their robot and did the same thing as 1100.
And then you have bots like us, who started life as a telescoping top hanger, and have changed to a vertical bar hanger with no moving parts. (except the hinge)
