Interestingly, at Alamo we scored a 5 stack that was perfectly balanced on the diagonal slope of the scoring platform and wasn't touching the carpet either. Some interesting physics going on there... We fixed it as we set a can on it so it was only like that for a few seconds.

The idea of the rule is that if the robot was instantaneously removed, the stack would remain scored. I think physically contacting the structure is ok, so long as it isn't load bearing. Not sure what the actual ruling was, but our can lifter coasted down on top of a longstanding stack without moving any totes after the buzzer and by my interpretation the stack should have still counted.
