Lifting robot without pyramid contact now illegal

A ROBOT may only be supported (fully or partially) by another ROBOT if one of the ROBOTS is in contact with a PYRAMID.

The Q&A has changed both the hoisting and the ramping answers.

Rhetorical question is rhetorical

It would seem that ramping/hoisting is possibly legal.

The rules say the robot must touch the zones in order. Nothing about support or even being in contact with the pyramid at all times. Ramping / hoisting is still legal. So you still can lift another robot or two as long as they touch each zone in order on the way up.
