I don't quite see what you mean -- adding the totes to a stack topped by an RC? I can only figure that you're talking about "bottom-stacking". If this is the case, it isn't so much adding totes as carrying the 7-layer stack to the scoring platform without spillage. I don't expect to see any 7-layer stacks being scored at a single run. Also, it doesn't seem likely to score a stack of 6 totes and then top it with an RC; you'd have to grapple it awfully low. However, I would not be at all surprised to see several robots at each regional score a stack of 3 or 4 or 5 totes, then top it with 3 or 2 or 1 tote(s) and an RC; I seem to recall one of the Ri3d robots performing this feat at the 3-and-3 level.
