there is a reason that FIRST is using the stack measuring device ...

Then what would you do if you have a collection of bins after the wall is pushed over and you have multiple bins in a pyramed scheme ... then how do you how many bins would be in the stack? According to your idea, what would you do if you had 4 bins, 2 stacked normally and 1 bin standing tall with the final bin on top of both the 2 high and 1 high stacks.. Would you count the stack height as 2 or 3? With the FIRST rules, it would be 3, no question. And your score would be (4-3)*3=3.
