Can you clarify what should happen when an opposing colour ring is placed on an alliance wall stake.
Currently, the V5RC app does not allow this to happen - for example the red plus icon (+) is greyed out for the blue alliance wall stake, and does not do anything when pressed.
However, <SC3> and <SG10> do not prohibit a red robot placing a blue ring on the red alliance wall stake. Therefore we should assume it is legal.
Should the alliance wall stakes be scored as in the same way as neutral stakes at the end of the match?

If a Ring of the opposing color ends the Match in a Scored position on an Alliance Wall Stake, that Ring should not be considered as Scored, and will not earn points for either Alliance (it will still, however, count toward the maximum number of 2 rings that can be placed on an Alliance Wall Stake). If it is the furthest Scored Ring from the Stake's base, the next-lowest Scored Ring on that Stake should be checked against rule <SC4> to see if it meets the criteria for Top Ring status.
If a Team Scores a Ring on their opponent's Alliance Wall Stake, it is a Minor or Major Violation of rule <SG10>.
