My team had the same idea, we were also wondering if it was legal to extend an appendage to hold on to an ALLIANCE (not opponent, which is what the touching rule says) bot so it is easier to get on the bridge to balance.

Sorry, but it looks like the rules say no. However, this rule seems more like it applies to malicious intent. We'll need GDC confirmation, I suppose.
