Sideways Hanging - Yes or No

Pretend he's a robot... This was our first thought on how to hang (due to it's efficiency), so I assume many of you are thinking the same thing. But we're preemptively ditching the idea as I'm sure it will knock the tower over and also point load the vertical member beyond yield. Not to mention if your hanging like this and a couple more bots climb aboard. Actually I haven't studied the footing of the tower but it seems like 3 bots piled up on each others back could get pretty far from center on the tower. Seems like it could go over pretty easy. Perhaps the GDC didn't see this coming, but I recommend a ruling on it soon.

FYI - I'm not planning on asking if this is acceptable on the GDC forum thing.
