There was something about it in the Kickoff demonstration. One of the RINGERS was stuck on a rubber tube and they said it wouldn't have counted until it was all the way on the SPIDER LEG. I don't remember if this is exactly what they said about it. The manual mentions the STINGER briefly at the end of 6.2.2 (The Arena, The Rack).

From what my team and I can comprehend form the rulebook the stinger is used basically to keep the tubes from falling off. In the demonstration the robot had the tube caught on the stinger in front of the spider leg so it couldn't be scored until it was placed over the stinger.
