I have always felt adding one tweak to Stack Attack would help gameplay. Basically this:

I haven't really fully baked out how the gameplay would evolve, but my thoughts were that it would force alliances to worry about the bins. You would also get collaboration between team members to "stack" robots on each other, as most likely you will have one representative from each alliance parked on top. A team member would have to be designated as stack builder/protector, less your alliance risks scoring 0 King of the Hill points.

Just a silly idea I've had for a while.

What if stacks multiplied the bridge bonus points? Maybe 5-10pts/robot instead of 25, but you see the idea. That might engage stacking as a real part of the game.
