How will inspectors react to this? will they allow us to hold this bar up while they push our robot into the size box?

I think you'd better find another way to hold it up.

I am not an inspector, but if I was and I saw something pushing on the box, I'd look very closely at it. It shouldn't be too hard to rig a servo as a latch...
