Sorry if there was another thread I could not find about this, but for thr 2010 endgame, a robot can be elevated or suspended for a 2 or 3 point score, respectively. While most people can see this as "hanging," by definition, can it also be sitting on the platform that makes the top of the tunnel?

The way I see this is that a robot can score as an elevated robot, as long as every single part of it is above the plane.
Also, the video shows and talks about the same kind of action, but then again, there have been some discrepancies in the animations before.
So, is it safe to design a robot that can elevate itself by climbing onto the platform? Or should this be avoided incase of a rule change. It seems intended to me, but then again, that is just me.
Also, if we were to have the ability for another robot to drive ontop of our robot while it is on the platform, would that robot score as suspended?
