FTFY.


That being said, the general rule used (at least later in the season) tended to be: At or above robot contact is automatically not scored. So 3 and 4, definitely a correct call.

In this case, using the regular-season rules would also guarantee that 1 and 2 were not scored--there's a question. Using OFFSEASON rules, well that's your decision on how to handle that. You could unstack 3 and 4 and see what happens... or not. In this case, I would probably assume that should 3 and 4 suddenly vanish, 1 would hit the carpet or the robot and invalidate itself and 2.
