Part of the excitement came from the fact that the minibot race was in fact a race. Another interesting element of the gameplay is that the match ends when all four towers trigger.

Maybe 1st and 2nd place get 20 points while 3rd and 4th get 15? It's a very possibly worth-it tradeoff if you decide you really must delay the end of the match so your alliance partner can hang that last tube. It also rewards teams that have spent time making superfast minibots without making it necessary for every other team to develop (very heavily inspired) new ramps and minibots.
