I do agree with your notion of the tubes becoming less important as the minibots became more prevalent, though.

I was thinking that a slight scoring modification would increase the lower row scoring excitement. Make logo scoring up and down diagonals count. Like tictactoe. An additional bonus for filling all nine pegs with tubes in logo sequences. Off season?
