A lot of teams are going to realize that these designs that only control a stack from the bottom tote are going to have a hard time carrying a tall stack under match conditions: poor visibility, totes stacked at wrong angles, accidentally running over noodles/into the scoring platform, taps by passing alliance partners, etc. Carrying 6 even without an RC on top is going to be slow going.
Carrying a full stack with speed might require an additional actuator depending on the setup - so I expect to see teams switching from precarious 6 stacks to manageable 3 or 4 stacks.
