https://www.vexrobotics.com/over-under-manual#:~:text=The%20Robot%20is%20not,a%20Robot%E2%80%99sElevated%20status The definition of elevation satates: "The Robot is not contacting any Field Elements other than those listed in point 1. This includes gray field tiles, the field perimeter, Goals, the opposing Alliance’sElevation Bar, etc. Contact with (or Possession of) Triballs is irrelevant when determining a Robot’sElevated status."

If a robot is fully supported by a triball and contacting an elevation bar, would it be considered elevated?

As you quoted from point 2a of the definition of Elevated:

Contact with (or Possession of) Triballs is irrelevant when determining a Robot’s Elevated status.

A Robot that meets all of the criteria for Elevated while being fully supported by a Triball should be considered Elevated.
