It would keep your human player from waiting while your lift cycles. It might only be a few seconds here and there, but it could be enough to finish that third stack.

We have, if the robot is perfectly aligned to the human station than this works without a hitch, but if it's off the 2nd tote won't properly align itself and since we can't adjust it, there is potential for it to be very unstable making it rather easy to lose the stack. Hence why we avoid doing it.

Our current best run is 2x 6 totes and a third stack of 5 totes. So under ideal conditions and doing this trick we may be should be able to achieve 3 full stacks. But we're not really going for that anyway, we just want to make sure we can get 2 full stacks every run and we should be good.
