It has to go above the plane of the platform.
From the definitions in 7.2:
ELEVATED: A ROBOT that is completely above the plane of the PLATFORM and in contact with the TOWER shall be considered ELEVATED.

Either way, once you are off the ground its the same amount of force no matter how high you go.
