I have posted here a pdf that shows the Points Per Piece of different stacks with containers or not. This is mainly to emphasize the insane value of containers this year.

I've been thinking of the containers as multipliers. Outside of edge cases like this, (http://i.imgur.com/CVA2ENk.jpg) placing a container on top of a stack of gray totes effectively multiplies the value of each tote by 3.

I think you missed the part where you can't stack totes higher than the backstops. That effectively limits you to stacks of 6.
So 24 points per container + 6 if it has litter in it.

Thanks, you're right. I was just thinking that teams that wanted to stack super high in the robot possibly could. Here is the updated sheet.
