Does a stack count if the opponent's robot is touching it?

[Jessica Fusher]

Ok, I know you are going to think this a repeat, but i researched it and AdamT and Clark have given conflicting information. Maybe you two could battle it out or something before answering this time :p , but here's my question:

Does your tallest stack count as your multiplier if you opponent is touching it????

Oh, and a side note, do other boxes (not as a multiplier) count as single points if you are thouching them?

Thanx so much!

Rule SC9 states:

"Opponent robot contact with a stack will not affect multiplier eligibility."

For the second question, Rule SC8 states:

"If ANY part of your own alliance's robots are in contact with ANY container in a stack (alone or in a multi-container stack), ALL containers in that stack will be worth zero points."
