"In order to earn the Lifting Bonus, the lifted Robot must be fully supported by the Alliance partner’s Robot and not by any other game object (i.e. 100% of the weight of a robot must be supported by the Alliance partner’s Robot)."

Therefore, it seems to me that, as long as one robot is COMPLETELY supported by another, it counts as being lifted for the bonus.

The challenge then is, how do you get a robot up 18"? A ramp of some sort for that purpose would be quite steep.
