I originally thought the same, but our team has been running some tests and sideways containers stacked on top of totes are surprisingly stable up to a point.

That being said, I predict there being alot of knocked over containers between getting the four in the center on each side, and stacks getting knocked over in teleop. Teams might want to consider/reconsider being able to pickup containers in multiple orientations.
