2746: How scored when robot raise up more than one stack
In this situation, the robot raise up all stacks in this picture, only the stack below the beam contact with robot physically.
If the Beam contact with robot, could the two stack above the beam get score? And how if the Beam contact with the robot?

If the Robot is contacting only the Pins in one of the Stacks (not the Beam), just like the scenario in <SE9> the Pins in that Stack do not qualify as Connected to each other or to the Beam. Only the one Stack in contact with the Robot is "invalidated." This scenario is scored as 2 Connected Pins, 1 Connected Beam, 2 two-color Stacks, 2 Matching Goal Bonuses, and 1 Robot in contact with Scoring Objects at the end of the Match, worth 44 points in total.
If the Robot is contacting the Beam, just like the scenario in <SE10> none of the Scoring Objects in this configuration count as Connected. Because the Beam is considered part of all three Stacks, all three Stacks are "invalidated." This scenario is scored as 1 Robot in contact with Scoring Objects at the end of the Match, worth 2 points in total.
