Having done some FBD diagrams, at least with our robot design, it's very possible to have your weight sufficiently rear-shifted that you're more misbalanced (% of weight on one set of wheels) with no totes than with 6. Now, maybe that's good since the 6-tote-CG is hopefully higher than your robot-CG, so you're CG with totes may not be as close to one set of wheels, but is shifted upwards notably too.
Anyway, if they have the battery to put at the back and 30+ pounds, they shouldn't have any trouble carrying up to 4 totes (assuming they're not geared to high and don't spin quickly).
