At the end of 2 Minutes: No rings but 2 gold goals and 2 red goals on a balanced red platform not all goals are flat but also not leaning on the field wall Would the points be 160 (40 by 4)?

831: Goals on the platform after the match point value
Answered by committee
Please review the Q&A Usage Guidelines before posting, specifically point 3, "Quote the applicable rule from the latest version of the manual in your question". Often, you'll find that by quoting the rule, you'll answer your own question.
The definition of "Balanced" reads as follows:
Balanced - A Platform state. A Platform is considered Balanced if all of the following criteria are met at the end of a Match:
The Platform is roughly parallel to the field.
Both flat surfaces of the Platform hinges are contacting the Platform base, as shown in Figure 7.
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.
a. For the purposes of this definition, contact is considered “transitive” through other Robots and Scoring Objects. For example, as shown in Figure 9, contact with a Mobile Goal that is resting on top of the field perimeter would not satisfy the definition of Balanced.
Note: As stated in rule <G18>, a Match ends once all Robots, Field Elements, and Scoring Objects have come to rest, including Platforms.
Note 2: As stated in rule <SG3>, a Platform which is being contacted by an opposing Alliance Robot at the end of a Match is automatically results in a Disqualification for the opposing Robot and / or Alliance, regardless of the above criteria.
The definition of "Elevated" reads as follows:
Elevated - A Robot and / or Mobile Goal state. A Robot or Mobile Goal is considered Elevated if all of the following criteria are met at the end of a Match:
The Robot or Mobile Goal is contacting their Alliance Platform.
The Platform meets the definition of Balanced.
The Robot or Mobile Goal is not contacting any other Field Element, such as the foam field tiles or the field perimeter.
a. For the purposes of this definition, contact is considered “transitive” through other Robots and Scoring Objects. For example, as shown in Figure 10, contact with a Mobile Goal that is contacting a field tile would not satisfy the definition of Elevated.
Note: For the purposes of this definition, any Mobile Goals that are in Possession of an Elevated Robot are also considered Elevated. See Figure 11 for more information.
In your question, you state that none of the Mobile Goals are contacting the field perimeter. If this is the case, then all four Mobile Goals would be considered Elevated.
However, due to the viewing angle, it is very unclear to us whether the red Alliance Mobile Goal in the back of the photo is contacting the field perimeter or not. If it is contacting the field perimeter, then this Platform would not meet the definition of Balanced. Therefore, none of the Mobile Goals are considered Elevated. Therefore, all four Mobile Goals are considered Scored in the Alliance Home Zone.
