Re: What gets you 2 points
It seems to me that the PLATFORM is part of the TOWER:

6.2.4 The TOWERS
A TOWER is located in the center of each BUMP. Each TOWER is composed of a base and a pipe superstructure. The PLATFORM is the horizontal surface of the base, and provides a solid surface to support ROBOTS during the game.


*****

PLATFORM = part of base.
base = component of TOWER.

PLATFORM = component of TOWER.

Just sitting on the platform, you are contacting the tower, per 6.2.4. You don't need to touch the bar. You are ELEVATED just by sitting there.

Any disputes of this? This is the most logical conclusion and the one I'm going with unless the GDC says otherwise via Q&A or Team Update.
