I have an intersting question to add on. If you grab the bar and lift yourself and you're off the carpet and the object supporting you is the bar... (according to the rule that says something like "if you would fall if it was removed, it is supporting you), Would it then be ok if you were still on the side of the platform? (If you're confused by what I mean, imagine the bot on the side of the platform. it grabs the bar and pulls up 1 inch. It's now pressing on the side of the platform pretty well) I could see a lot of teams bypassing the problem of getting up there and fighting the traffic.
If I understand you correctly, I think that would still be considered as you being on the floor.

I think that's another question to throw on the Q&A forums...
