A "stack" has already been defined as one tote.
So then, if a tote was laying on it's side or end, the bottom would be facing down.
Wouldn't it?

I think that the spirit of the rule is that the box has to sit with the bottom flat on the ground. As for the discussion on placing stacks directly in front of robots, one thing my team considered was placing them a quarter of the way in front of the ramp. The robot could still see the reflective tape, but it would draw a straight line to its target - right through the plexiglass siding.
