Question Re: Elevators/ Forklifts

This Question is referring to the concept of having a component push against the ground and raise the robot.

According to <G56> "Robots score bonus points at the end of the match if they are entirely in their HOME ZONE, not in contact with any element of the field (carpet, alliance station, goal, etc.) and the lowest point of the ROBOT is higher than 4 inches and/or 10 inches above the carpeted field surface."

So my question is, can you have an entity on your robot push against the ground and not qualify as being the lowest point of the robot? Or are there some special circumstances?

Thanks.
