To be scored, the gray tote must not be above (even partially) the back stop, which has a height of 6'6".

To be scored, the container must be supported by scored gray totes. This means the container must be on a gray tote that is no more than 6'6" off the ground.
The max is 6 because the dimension for height the manual gives is 12.1 inches (Section 2.3.1). Math tells us then that the maximum grey totes you can stack is 6 and still legally stack the recycling container.

How does math tell us that the maximum height is 6? The maximum robot height is about 6 containers; however, there is no rule that you can't carry totes past a height of 6. Is it wise to do so? That's your call.

There's no reason to stack past 6 totes, but there is no restriction saying you can't do it.

false you can always stack from the bottom by just picking up the totes and kicking the totes under, but yes it is useless to proceed six totes
