However, more points are awarded for being higher on the arch. One could go about it like the minibots this year with point values for being the highest to lowest or just have markings on the arch with "zones" which have certain hanging values.

That would be fun for the prepared teams, and hilarious for the audience, especially when the unprepared teams don't have a hanger that can grip onto the arch. Watching those slippery, low fraction hangers hang those heavy robots, and having the robots slip down the slope would be hilarious! I bet we'd see teams who'd have wheels on their hangers so they could scoot towards the middle, and push other robots down the arc.
