When placed on the FIELD, each ROBOT must be:

in compliance with all ROBOT rules (i.e. have passed Inspection),
confined to its STARTING CONFIGURATION,
fully supported by the floor, and
contacting its PYRAMID.

So I'm going with no. If it is touching the bar at all, then some miniscule amount of weight is being supported by the bar, violating the "fully supported by the bar" condition. Although it depends on how lenient FIRST is (Q & A maybe). A hook that begins hovering over the bar should be fine, however.
