The max stack you could get in my mind during Auton is 3 yellows I know some team will do it. We put 4 totes on a plywood board that was attached to a mecanum robot and we had a gentle curve that could be compensated for with driver practice (more so with programming I would imagine since code seems to be more consistent then caffeinated student input)
My thought though is that the most weight you will get on a robot is during Tele-Op where the driver is in full control and should be able to compensate for the weight distribution. Of course this depends on if you use an on robot stacking procedure or point to point stacking procedure
Either way I would say its a valid point to say that you are most likely going to deal with more weight in tele-op then in auton.
