Re: G28, Q&A 83, and Noodling a Can Without Touching it
The only reason I could see having such a rule would be the potential risk of a tote being shot back by a robot and injuring a HP. However, due to the weight of the totes, method of scoring (and what sort of designs would generally be used) and the lack of defense this is beyond unlikely.

IMHO, the risk isn't enough to ruin the game over. Hopefully this is like the 2013 climbing size rule debate where the GDC's original statement was not what the GDC actually intended to convey and was cleared up in under a week.
