2714: Do these stacks can get standoff goal bonus

In <SC5>.c.iv, the stacks connected to anther placed stack via Beam will be placed on standoff goal too. And with <SC5>.b, a stack that is contacting a robot will not be placed, so the stack below than beam not placed to the standoff goal. I'd like to know, in this moment, does the beam and two stacks that above the beam placed on standoff goal, could it get the standoff goal bonus . [Example Image]

This follows similar logic to <SE9>. The Pins in the Stack that is in contact with the Robot do not qualify as Connected to each other, to the Beam, or to the Standoff Goal (see <SC3> and <SC5>).

As a result, the two remaining Stacks are not considered Placed in the Standoff Goal because they no longer meet the conditions of clause c.iv of rule <SC5>.

This example would be scored as:

  • 4 Connected Pins
  • 1 Connected Beam
  • 2 three-color Stacks
  • 2 Matching Goal bonuses
  • 1 Robot in contact with Scoring Objects at the end of the Match
