Already tried and they balance just fine (as did 1 of the Ri3D Robots in a published video). WARNING: Just be careful what you do there concerning totes not going over the top of the backstop! As nothing above including that tote that does, would score anything. RC's & Litter only score if supporting Grey tote scores. Litter only scores if supporting RC scores...Transitional, but limited. RC's may reach above, just not grey supporting totes!

(This could be wrong below on the top example, as the uprights on the Field Drawings show those uprights at 77.83" High min. unassembled in the bases, minus 2" platform height= So at least nearly close to backstop assembled height of 76", so might be able to clear w/ the top assembled into the base. Lacking only about 1"~1.5" to be below the top (which if so, would possibly also score the top Tote +2/1 top capping RC @6 Levels More+4X6=24+6Litter or, +32=Total 44 Points, and the recesses in the totes may help there in reducing the height a bit of total stack between the 3 center sandwiched totes).

Someone with already assembled backstops already please fully check this?

Max. ht. without Grey Totes going over top of backstop=Approx. 78"? Or is it less? (Quick check~Team element drawings show it 78"-2" for the platform or 76" stack building height on platfor to top of the backstop).

WRONG WAY Below! ("To the MOON" Stack).

1 Grey Tote 12.13" H (2 points), 1 RC w/ litter fully inserted inside below lid center rim 4 points X 1+6 29.0 H -St.Total 41.13 H(10 points),3 Grey Totes (they balance just fine) 12.13"X3=36.39" - St.Total 77.52" H (6 Points-2 points=Net 4 points, as that tote is above top of backstop slightly I think)....1 RC w/ litter inserted capping that, but must lift from lower and another inserting the middle totes from below (add another 29.0" St.Total 106.52" H, and neither the top RC or Litter would score, as it was sitting on a non scored Tote). Total points is only 16 points and a huge waste of resources and time.

But, remove 1 of the center totes and it scores well~

1 Grey Tote 12.13" H (2 points), 1 RC w/ litter fully inserted inside below lid center rim 4 points X 1 Level+6 29.0 H -St.Total 41.13 H(10 points), add 2 Grey Totes (they balance just fine) 12.13"X2=24.26" - St.Total 65.39" H (4 Points, and that tote is below top of backstop slightly, but just misses level 6)....1 RC w/ litter inserted capping that 4X5 levels (20+6=26 points) 29.0 H St. Total 94.39" H (lower than a 6 tote & 1 RC cap of 100" average) Total 42 Points scored= (3 Totes, 2 RC's, 2 Litter used).

Use only if you have an abundance of RC's, and partners have lower stacking abilities, and it is much better than having Litter in RC's hanging around on the floor, or the scoring platforms alone waiting to cap stacks (Each of those could end up netting you minus -4 points a pc. if you run out of time due to the Unprocessed Litter Penalty). If you load Litter into an RC early, always put it onto a Grey Tote and onto a scoring platform away from where stacks are being built....It scores if on that grey tote, and you can always lift tote and RC together w/ Litter to cap a stack later. Risk is an alliance member (or worse yourself), knocking it down though.

NOTE: While litter completely inside of an RC is more troublesome for scoring by Ref's (wouldn't be easily seen), and tougher for Field Reset Crews to retrieve from them, not really that hard though (reach in and feel around and fish out), as long as they both know which container it's in (and harder to get in there, to say the very least)...It is both possible and legal and does not damage or tie in any way the Litter & or the RC, but watch that newly added tape now in doing so on the complete Litter insertion into that RC, as removing the tape is against the newly revised Litter rules...LOL).
