However, if you never broke contact, it isn't descoring, and, as far as I can tell, a legal way to prevent your opponant from scoring any points on that goal.

ID979...
Regarding the definition of "stacked": If a tetra, which is not at the top of a stack, is being touched (not supported) by an alliance robot, are all higher tetras (not touching the robot) from that same alliance discounted as well?
A: They would not count.
Definitely do not want to touch any of your tetras on the stack! I guess if you touch a tetra of yours on the top, the below ones would count, but if you're touching the very bottom one, you've just negated all your points above it.
But yeah, I don't know if they would just consider YOURS not counted, or if they would include the opponents. That would seem awfully unfair to your opponent... Hope we find out for sure... the Q/A question above specifically states for one alliance... not including opponents tetras...ID1098 in Q/A has asked this....

Q: Rule G18 precludes robots from removing tetras from a goal. What happens if the tetra removed is a tetra owned by the same alliance that the robot which removed the tetra was on?
A: This is okay as long as you do not violate any other rule.
I am sorta surprised at this. The manual says clearly that you cannot remove a tetra that is stacked on top of the goal. So I'm not sure why it's ok for me to go remove tetras from a goal, even if they're my own... Hmm..
