Hanging robots and <G31>

Quote:
<G31> BALL RETURN and RETURN BARS Protection - ROBOTS may not contact the BALL RETURN or the RETURN BARS (black tape). Violation: PENALTY for inadvertent contact; plus a RED CARD for obviously intentional contact or damaging contact.
If I am reading this right, this restricts the robots from hanging from three of the four sides of the tower, and effectively to only the midfield side of the tower as I see it practically impossible for a robot to balance on one of the bumps and then grab the side of the tower. This in turn essentially limits your team to ONE robot hanging from the tower (ELEVATED), meaning if the other two robots are going to score points from being off the playing field, they would have to either sit on the tower platform or be hanging from another robot (SUSPENDED) for three points.

What are some of your opinions on this rule, and my assumption that only one bar is viable for elevating your robot.
