Recycle Rush Rules - Upside-down totes?

My team was also speculating on the usefulness of inverted stacking. We found that both right side up and inverted stacking were close in stability to where the difference between the types of stacking may be negligibe. What matters is that a stack has ALL totes oriented the same way. If there are totes that are stacked opposite facing, obviously they slide. We have a prototype started for a passive system that ensures all totes (and if strategically advantagous, containers as well) we pick up are stacked inverted for consistency.
