Oh-o. But you're reading your standard, everyday, common sense definition of SUSPENDED into things. This is Breakaway we're talking about. If you have a stack of 3 vertical robots, the middle one is 21" up and touching the tower, and the top one is only touching the middle one... Then I think the middle one is ELEVATED, and the top one is SUSPENDED, as it's only touching the ELEVATED robot below it. (Yes, I just said a robot was suspended by another robot below it. I didn't write the rules.)
