The TOWER is designed to support the weight of several ROBOTS. The RETURN BARS are the two horizontal bars at the top of the rear of the TOWER (the side nearest the ALLIANCE WALL). The RETURN BARS support the lower end of the BALL RETURN and are covered in black tape.
This implies that both the upper and lower bar are "no-touch" areas, because they are both covered in black tape.

Good point. The side bar comment stands, though.

Re: Hanging robots and <G31>

Agreed on the side bar hanging. There's numerous examples of side hanging robots from 2004. Take your pick of implementations.
