My point was, if you go back and look at the video he linked, he expressed concerns that that mechanism wouldn't work because (paraphrasing) "it had to climb level one first, which is only 30" high." I was saying that because the wording of the rule is "contacts," it doesn't have to. It has to touch each level sequentially, and no more than two at once, but it doesn't have to climb each and every level.
So, my thought was, a mechanism that clearly touches the first level (by lifting the robot slightly) would be enough to satisfy that requirement before using the mechanism in the video to lift up to level 2, and hang for the 20 points.
