If so, I hate to say it, but Rule <G56> says ROBOTS in HOME ZONE - 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.

I thought about this idea with a few other people myself, it's legality depends how you interpret G56, is a Game Piece considered part of the Field? If it isn't part of the field, then go ahead and prop yourself up on 1 or 2 of those and get 15 points.
