These are obviously clearly in opposition to each other. There are three possible solutions:

1. The Q&A is wrong, teams shouldn't be penalized.
2. The definitions are wrong, and a tetra held by a robot touching another tetra descores that tetra.
3. Both are right. The Q&A definition is strictly for the case of human loading, while the game definition is for all other cases.
Unless we are missing something, it looks like another Q&A is needed asking: Is a tetra considered STACKED if it is in contact with a TETRA of the same color which is held by a ROBOT of the same color?

I'll search for other such questions, and if I don't find any, I'll post it an Q%A. This is the sort of thing that should be discussed and clarified by the head referee at the Championship. However it is defined, it will hopefully be scored the same on all the fields in Atlanta.
