If the head ref actually stated that a robot is not elevated unless it was touching a side pole, then he was incorrect.
The way I read it was the ref gave an example that the side pole was part of the tower, not saying that the pole was the tower (apparently reading the whole sentence helps). I see now that I have misread it -- sorry for the confusion.
