2792: Does touching the Standoff Goal invalidate the stack?

Does the Standoff Goal count as a goal (which can be touching a robot) or part of the stack (which cannot be touching the robot) for the purposes of scoring?

In the example below the robot is touching the standoff but NOT touching the stack.

Hello, and thanks for your question, Team 42000B!

The Standoff Goal includes all pieces of the orange plastic structure in the center of the Field, and Goals are not considered parts of Stacks. Contacting a Goal has no impact on scoring.

We hope this helps!
