I agree, lifting from below would be mechanically simpler, since you could get leverage directly off the ground. You need to distribute the lift so the other robot stays ballanced (maybe 3 or 4 lift points).
All the rules say is the the lowest point of the other robot must be 4+ or 12+" off the ground.
