What condition must a robot meet to earn level 2 tower points?

To earn level 2 tower points, a robot must have its bumpers completely above the lower rung. This condition ensures that the robot is successfully positioned in a way that demonstrates its ability to reach and interact with the tower structure above the lower rung. Achieving this position is indicative of the robot’s design and its operational capabilities to climb or elevate itself in the game environment.

The other options do not meet the specific criteria for earning these points. For instance, if the bumpers touch the carpet, it indicates that the robot is on the ground rather than elevated above the lower rung, which does not fulfill the requirement for tower points. Similarly, being in direct contact with the tower base or having at least one corner lifted off the ground does not guarantee that the bumpers are above the lower rung, which is essential for meeting the criteria for level 2 tower points.
