How does math tell us that the maximum height is 6? The maximum robot height is about 6 containers; however, there is no rule that you can't carry totes past a height of 6. Is it wise to do so? That's your call.

There's no reason to stack past 6 totes, but there is no restriction saying you can't do it.
