ELEVATED but not hanging?

Someone sanity check me on this. I just did a double take on closely reading the ELEVATED definition:
Quote:
ELEVATED: A ROBOT that is completely above the plane of the PLATFORM and in contact with the TOWER shall be considered ELEVATED
It's missing the "and only in contact with the TOWER" or "only supported by the TOWER" that I've been conditioned to expect. By my reading, a robot sitting on top of another robot, 21" off the ground, and touching the TOWER = ELEVATED. I can't see anything that argues against this. I'm Q&A-ing it, but it seems legal to me at the moment. Comments?

NB: So a triple-stack of robots near a tower could = 5 points?
