Paul,
I agree with your analysis of the definitions but I am wondering if you really need to be above the platform to be a SUSPENDED robot. When I look at the definition of SUSPENDED it does not refer to a height off the field surface. It just says that you are ONLY touching a ELEVATED robot. Maybe there is a opportunity there if the SUSPENDED robot doesn't need to break the plan of the top of the platform.

Some things I have been thinking about:
- If you are a previously SUSPENDED robot but then touch the tower by accident I don't think you would still be SUSPENDED based on the definition.
- If in the process grabbing onto a ELEVATED robot you move them so that they are not above the plane of the PLATFORM, they would no longer be ELEVATED and you are no longer SUSPENDED from a ELEVATED robot.

What are peoples thoughts on this? My first thought is you may want to be careful as a potential SUSPENDED robot because you could negate the ELEVATED robot if the above proves out to be true.
