Here's a situation that follows along the the lines of this discussion.

According to SC8, a container is in the scoring zone if it meets these criteria:
Quote:
A container “in” a Scoring Zone is worth one point. A container will be determined to be “in” a scoring zone if at least some part of the container is touching the colored carpet that defines a scoring zone or is supported exclusively by:
· Other containers in that zone;
· An opponent’s robot.
So, if an opponent is holding a crate, it can count as a scorable crate. Note that it doesn't differentiate where the box is held, or where the robot is, but the fact that it is entirely supported by the opponent robot makes it worth points.

According to SC9,
Quote:
Only stacks located “in” a scoring zone (as defined in SC8) are eligible to become
multiplier stacks;
...
Opponent robot contact with a stack will not affect multiplier stack eligibility.
The way that I read it, because a crate being held by the opponent robot can be counted as being in the scoring zone, it can also be counted as a stack. So, if an opponent, anywhere on the field, is carrying a crate 20' in the air at the end of the game, that's a 20' stack for your alliance (15.74 SHU=16x multiplier)!
