Re: Suspended and touching two Elevated robots?

1) A robot is only in contact with 1 elevated or 1 suspended robot
2) A robot is only in contact with 1 elevated and 1 suspended robot
3) A robot is only in contact with 2 elevated or 2 suspended robots

From this definition, it sounds like (1) is definitely SUSPENDED, and (2) probably is ("and/or")... but (3) may not be.

Can a robot be touching two elevated robots and still be suspended?
If you're able to contact 2 suspended robots, you probably aren't suspended...

I can think of a situation in which a robot could be suspended from one robot, and have an elevated robot hanging from it (contact with 2 elevated robots). I don't think that that's going to automatically make your robot elevated...
