Official Q&A: VRC 2021-2022: Tipping Point

According to this Q&A https://events.vex.com/VRC/2021-2022/QA/818, the Platform includes the black plastic towers. Would this mean that if a robot was able to lift itself just using the towers, it could count as elevated? The definition for elevated is:

1. The Robot or Mobile Goal is contacting their Alliance Platform.
2. The Platform meets the definition of Balanced.
3. The Robot or Mobile Goal is not contacting any other Field Element, such as the foam field tiles or the field perimeter.

Now most methods of trying to lift using the tower would be a G16 violation, which states:

<G16> Don’t clamp your Robot to the field. Robots may not intentionally grasp, grapple or attach to any Field Elements. Strategies with mechanisms that react against multiple sides of a Field Element in an effort to latch or clamp onto said Field Element are prohibited. The intent of this rule is to prevent Teams from both unintentionally damaging the field and / or from anchoring themselves to the field.

However, through testing we found that there is a rectangular gap between the hinges and the tower, which is slightly smaller than a 2-wide c channel. If a robot were to stick a metal channel into there, and lift itself off of the ground using the channel, it could reach the definition of Elevated, as long as it doesn't cause the hinge to lift off of the tower, as per the definition of Balanced:

1. The Platform is roughly parallel to the field.
2. Both flat surfaces of the Platform hinges are contacting the Platform base, as shown in Figure 7.
3. Robots and / or Scoring Objects contacting the Platform in their Alliance Home Zone are not also contacting any other Field Elements, such as foam field tiles or the field perimeter

So would it be a legal strategy to elevate the robot using this method? It is reacting against multiple sides of the platform, but it is not latching on or clamping, and will fall out the moment the platform is tipped, so I don't believe it'd be a G16 violation.
