In all the discussions about negative points, I think many of you have missed this very important part of the rules:

If ANY parts of your own alliance’s robots are in contact with ANY container in your own Scoring Zone in a stack (alone or in a multi-container stack), ALL containers in that stack will be worth zero points. This bullet is worth reading several times. Any container you touch that is touching any container, etc., will be worth zero points.
TIP: Get away from your containers.

Therefore, if you try to raise the stack with your robot, you don't get negative points, you get zero points.
The opposing robot can give you points while touching... you can give your opponents points while touching. You cannot, however, give yourself points while touching.
