yes. if a blue bot is on the bottom, and a red bot climbs on top, then each robot is worth 25 points. the blue robot gets credit for
one bot as king of the hill and so does the red bot. however, if a blue robot were to turn up ontop of a blue robot, there would be two blue robots on the HDPE, meaning 50 points for blue. i believe the phrase "takes on the characteristics of" means "is touching the HDPE if the bottom bot is touching the HDPE" i think the characteristics are physical characteristics, NOT scoring characteristics. Blue does not get points for red robots on top of it. each alliance gets points for its robots on the HDPE.
