ELEVATED but not hanging?

I'm Q&A-ing it, but it seems legal to me at the moment. Comments?

NB: So a triple-stack of robots near a tower could = 5 points?

I have been debating this for some time (last few days) and the video (although I am told NOT to trust which is SUPPOSED to give an understanding of the game) does show it not once, but twice that being on the platform is considered elevated. If it is, then a triple stack would be worth 8 points, considering a plane is a flat surface that has generally no thickness, but if is not, then it is worth only 5 points as you said.
