Provided it doesn't go over 78 inches. Hmm, I just noticed, no metric equivalents this year.

Regarding transporting tall stacks, you might fall afoul of this rule:
Quote:
G27 ROBOTS and anything they control, e.g. a TOTE, may not contact anything outside the FIELD.
VIOLATION: Offending ROBOT will be DISABLED.
Questionable if a container toppling off the top of a stack and onto a volunteer outside the field is still in "control" of the robot - but do you want to take that risk?
