Re: Suspension

Above the platform surface, touching the tower.... Does that mean a robot can get on top of the underpass, and touch one of the side poles and that counts as a bonus? (No suspension)

Following the current definition of ELEVATED, a robot that sits on top of the platform and touches part of the tower will get a bonus. This will probably be one of the first and most significant Q&A questions when they can be asked though.

Re: Suspension

So I see that you can just drive up onto the platform and deploy a ramp that lets another robot up onto you and if they aren't touching anything else they are suspended and you get 5 points total.

Why would you have to touch a side pole? In the definition of the TOWER, the PLATFORM is listed as part of it. Thus, if you're sitting completely on the PLATFORM, you are ELEVATED.

It did not say that you can't touch anything besides the elevated robot. all it said is you have to be touching the other robot.

You would no longer be an elevated robot as your ramp would be below the plane, thus this would result in 0 points.

If said ramp was raised after being driven on, it would get a bonus, but I think there are easier ways of doing it.
