Basically, the very next container touching the red robot is the container that is nullified, whether it is a stack or not. Any connecting containers are not nullified.


Example 5 is semi-inconsistant. It basically says that if containers are on top of your robot, and they are directly touching a "stack", then that stack is nullified. I guess the containers on top of your robot count as an extension of your robot. That container in Example 5 that is sideways technically

Basic rule:
Vertically (on top of robot): Containers are an extension of your robot. They also do not count as a stack.
Horizontally (directly next to and touching robot): Only the containers directly touching your robot or an extension of your robot do not count as a stack, whether they are a stack or not. Stacks touching those containers (horizonally) are counted normally.





I like this new scoring system. It's very simplified. Also, stackers are important once again among the sea of bins! Pyramid stacks don't nullify the entire sea now.... So I guess the new strategy is to pick up bins and make one communal bonfire stack.
