What is the value of supporting bins?

If two containers which are supporting our highest stack, are both containers worth zero points (because they are part of the multiplier stack)

If you take out the "which" and make the the question. "If two containers are supporting our highest stack, are both containers worth zero points (because they are part of the multiplier stack)"

I'de say that those 2 containers would count as points as long as they are within the scoring area, but I don't think they would be counted as part of the multiplier. Any container that is part of the stack (height wise) is not considered a point, but since these are only supporting the stack I would guess (NOT official) that they are just considered normal containers. Keep in mind that if your robot or your partners robot touches that stack at the end of the match those containers will not count.

If two containers are supporting our highest stack (the multiplier stack)... (imagine a stack ontop of two containers simultaneously), are both containers worth zero points (because they are part of the multiplier stack)?
