Play this out, and you will understand why a SHU is shorter than the height of a container sitting on the floor, but is approximately equal to the incremental vertical distance between the tops of containers that are stacked (nested).

Okay,
So it doesn't matter how many containers are in the stack, the height of the highest container is measured by the SHU Stick and that height gives you the multiplier not the number of totes.
So if the height of the highest container is between these measurements thats what the multiplier will be. ( I know we won't be measuring to the 100th of an inch but roughly, correct?)
0" thru 14.75" high = 1 times
14.76" thru 29.50" high = 2 times
29.51" thru 44.25" high = 3 times
44.26" thru 59.00" high = 4 times
59.01" thru 73.75" high = 5 times
73.76" thru 88.50" high = 6 times
88.51" thru 103.25" high = 7 times
103.26" thru 117.50" high = 8 times
the number of other containers in your scoring area.
SHU times other containers in your scoring area, plus robot points equals = Score
