Ahh, the elegance of simplicity...a great idea as long as you ensure a disincentive for tube starvation as I stated in previous post and you reduce the scoring differential between first and last minibot places (20, 18, 16, 14). You still have the excitement factor during endgame, continue to reward faster minibots and every tube placement will become more critical than previously, keeping the excitement level high as spectators focus on every placement right up to the end. 5, 4, 3... easy change logistically too.
