Something with a similarly difficult design challenge that one could reasonably expect the average FRC team to be able to simulate with reasonable closeness to the actual field object for testing purposes, and whose reward in game scoring accurately reflects the engineering difficulty.

This is not asking overly much. In fact, as I mentioned, the pyramid itself probably could have been this with a few changes to construction and game scoring.
