I think we are talking virtual stacks of 10-15 maybe from the truly dedicated robots. it will all be ok im sure.
1. first the boxes are 15 inches tall

2. the highest return for a stack is 22 or 23 high ( the closest you can get to a perfect square

3. You dont need to put the box all the way up at the top. all you need to do is pick the stack up and place it on a box and repeat (thatsd what our team will do).
