Also, awesome job to the crew that put this together. You guys are part of what makes the FIRST community and CD so awesome. Hopefully I'll be able to carve out enough time for a submission...

Thanks a bunch! We really appreciate the compliments, and thank you and everyone else for participating in this!
To answer your question, if you're stacking near a wall, and one of the blocks barely touches the wall, you'll probably be fine. The rule was made because we didn't want people purposely stacking against the wall or another object for back support, or "accidentally" stacking so that a few or more of their blocks touch and receive support. Remember this is just a design challenge. It's unlikely the game will actually be played (though I'd love to play it).
