Does a cone have to be on a goal to be considered stacked, or can it be on the ground or on / in your robot?

By definition, a Cone cannot be Stacked if it is not on a Goal. This doesn’t mean that cannot be nested on top of each other while not on a Goal, however they cannot earn points for being Stacked without being on a Goal.

The definition of Stacked from the VEX Robotics Competition In the Zone Game Manual is quoted below.

@VEX Robotics Competition In the Zone Game Manual

Stacked – A Cone is Stacked on a Goal if it is not touching a Robot of the same color Aliiance as the Goal and either:
a) Fully nested on a Goal (see Figures 5 & 6).
b) Fully nested on a Stacked Cone (see Figures 7 & 8).
Note 1: Cones still count as being Stacked even if the Mobile Goal that they are Stacked on is not Scored. Note 2: By these definitions, if a Robot is touching a Cone on a Mobile Goal, that Cone and any above it will not count as being Stacked.
