To be ELEVATED a robot must be in contact with the TOWER and above the PLATFORM plane (20"). How does another robot above 20" touching you cause you to no longer satisfy the ELEVATED condition? As long as both of you are above 20" and both end up touching the tower some how you would still get the 4 points for both robots being ELEVATED, robot to robot contact has no effect on whether a robot is considered ELEVATED.
Just make sure your suspending mechanism is likely to keep your partners above 20", if so there's a relatively small difference between 4 and 5 points for your alliance.
