If they really think they're going to go through 5-6 crates a game, they probably would've just stuck with balls.
In any event, I don't think it's going to be too horrible. A lot of crates are going to fall when they topple from the pyramid, but considering that a)they're light and b)they don't have large, heavy objects in them, I don't think they'll take too much damage. Granted, our team hasn't yet tried to see how many we can smash yet, but I figure if the containers start taking enough damage in the early regionals, the refs and inspectors are going to riot, not to mention the field crew.

Im currious... has FIRST set clear guidlines on what still counts as a bin? Say a bin gets broekn in half and both half end up on the same side, is that a bin? What if 1 half is on one side, the other on another. What if 75% of the bin is on one side, etc?
My guess is that the bin wouldn't count.
