Yes, you can. However, that does not change the fact that, at the moment you are finishing the stack, nearly the entire bin is going to be above 6'6". Thus, the "challenge." You can certainly minimize that time (i.e. approaching a stack of 4 totes and placing 2 totes+ 1 bin on top). However, that bin will still be largely unsupported for a brief amount of time. Moreover, you now necessitate the creation of two separate stacks in order to build one tall one. This increases the amount of maneuvering the robot must do for each stack - increasing the amount of time it takes to make that stack.

I'm not saying either thought is a bad idea at all. I'm just saying that level six stacks with bins present some additional challenges that may make it more time-effective to max out at five.
