Personally, I probably would have written a small code snippet that loops through the totes and finds the first one with available space.

But I think it's more interesting and useful to get familiar with the concept to use a list. Each tote is assigned a rank and pushed to a list. Depending on the item type, the token then either pulls a tote with space and rank 5 or any other rank from the list.
