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.
That rule is referring to a robot that is being lifted by another robot. So the robot that is being lifted can not come in contact with the field and its lowest point must be higher then 4" and/or 12". But the robot that is doing the lifting can and will come in contact with the field, unless your robot has an anti-gravity machine.
