OK if you have multiple stacks do they add together?

Or is it just the highest stack?

If you take the highest stack do you get points for the other stack?

Example if you have a stack of 4 and 3 do you get multipler of 7 or 4? And then do you get the 3 stack added on as points to b e multiplied?

I hope i made some sense. If you can answer me before 230 today that would be great. Thanks and good luck!

If these are all in your zone:

[_] [_]
[_] [_] [_] _
[_] [_] [_] [_] [ ]
[_] [_] [_] [_] [_]
4 2 4 3 2

Highest stack is 4, that becomes your multiplier stack.
Your score is now: 4 x (2 + 4 + 3 + 2) = 44

<edit> math corrected. </edit>

(The second 3 is due to the box not meshing with the second box thus raising it into the 3 zone)

Reply if that doesn't make sense to you.

Wrong, if the one 3 is made by one box not meshing with the other, then you have 4 x (2 + 4 + 3 + 2) = 44

the not meshing thing only counts for stack height.

Ok, thanks a lot. I corrected it in my post. I wrote that at around 6:30 this morning and wasn't thinking straight.

if u have bins flipped up on a side or upside down they dont count like the multipliers
they only count the bins out there to be multipled so the orginal post would be right

so u take the multipler and times it by every other bin out there depending on if its stacked horizontal vertically and w.e else as long as not touching your robot

from what the rules seem to state, all bins supported by either a portion of the alliance-colored carpet or supported by another bin which is supported by the a-c carpet (and those above it) get multiplied by the height of the highest bin and that which supports it.
