Plus, if one robot getting 2 points is questionable, then 2 robots getting 2 points should be out of the question. It is almost impossilbe for 2 robots to fit on the platform side by side, and in any eleimination round at least 1 of your alliance partners should be able to hang by themselves.

Never say never. As long as the whole robot is above the plane of the platform it is ELEVATED. The ramp's "top" could be longer than the platform in theory.
