Thanks for your questions, Laevatein Scarlet!

The Pins in your example appear to be fully nested and are roughly vertical (more "up and down" than sideways), and qualify as Connected if they're not in contact with a Robot.

Because the Stack in your example is entirely within the center outline that defines the Floor Goal, it also meets the criteria of clause C of rule <SC5> and qualifies as being Placed in the Floor Goal.

Don't forget that Teams can't earn points for more than 4 Stacks Placed in the Floor Goal---even if more will fit because some are partially on the base of the Standoff Goal!
