Official Q&A: VRC 2021-2022: Tipping Point
901: Elevated Mobile Goals in Programming Skills
The platform is off-limits for scoring during the autonomous round of head-to-head matches. The Programming Skills manual states, "Points are awarded according to the same score rules as standard VEX Robotics Competition Tipping Point head-to-head matches." It then goes on to provide the following scoring example for Programming Skills: "A Robot which is Elevated on either Platform is worth thirty (30) points." This seems to be a bit of a contradiction, but later, the manual lists the "Number of Elevated Mobile Goals" during PS as a tie breaker.
If an elevated robot is worth 30 points in a Programming Skills round, is it correct to assume that elevated mobile goals are worth forty points in those same rounds? It seems that would be the case, but I have a team that wants to be certain the auton they're programming will allow them to score points the way they hope.

Yes, this is correct.
