When I read "Opponent robot contact with a stack will not affect multiplier stack eligibility." in SC9, it means that the fact that an opponent is holding a crate while it is "in" the scoring zone does not make it ineligible to be a stack. So, a "crate supported exclusively" by an opponent robot in your scoring zone is eligible to be counted as either 1 point (per SC8) or as a stack (per first bullet of SC9).

The example crate 20' in the air supported entirely by the opponent robot also can be counted either as 1 point or as a stack. More than likely, it would be the tallest stack, regardless of the fact that it's only 1 crate. Therefore, it should be measured to find the whole SHU to determine your mulitplier.

At least, that's the way that I interpret the rules as written right now. In my pre-Update1 note on the forums, I specifically suggested that the wording of SC9 to be changed to not allow that. While Update 1 did take on my suggestion to change SC8 (the opponent anywhere on the field), it still did not change SC9 in terms of this matter.

Of course, I'm also assuming the use of the SHU measuring device will be from the floor, not from a particular part of the crate, as you seem to imply.
