I agree, the endgame rules are very clear this year as long as you don't over think them or try to infer meaning. Just go with exactly what the rules say. Nothing more, nothing less.

So I must ask why you think a SUSPENDED robot must be above the platform? The rule for SUSPENDED only deals with contact, not position.
