2366: Scoring rings held by robot

<SC3><SC3> Q&A 2166 was helpful, thanks. We had an event at this weekend's tournament that spurred the need for additional detail. When the match ended the ring plane was below the wall stake tip, but the ring was still supported by the robot, and because of that was disallowed. I might be missing it, but I don't see that in the rules. Should the ring in this picture count at the end of a match?

<SC3> was revised in version 2.0 of the manual (September 3, 2024) to allow Rings that are in contact with a Robot to count as Scored regardless of the Robot's Alliance color. If the Ring in the image meets all criteria of <SC3>, then that Ring should be considered Scored on that Stake.
