Quote:
ELEVATED: A ROBOT that is completely above the plane of the PLATFORM and in contact with the TOWER shall be considered ELEVATED.
this would mean that they would not be awarded the points for hanging. Although I'm confident that 378 will be able to fix this in the next two days before ship (Yes we're that close and I'm sure everyone is panicking).

If anyone from 378 is reading this and I misinterpreted what was happening please correct me I would hate to have false information on your bot floating around.
