I like this idea a lot.

You could have it such that stacks of game pieces receive significant bonus points if the pieces in the stack were placed there by different robots. Stacking lends itself naturally to providing an easier "intro-level" job for less-capable teams that, regardless, is crucial for success - namely, placing the first object in the stack.

To be really tricky, you could have an end-game which involves removing a piece from the middle/bottom of the stack while keeping the rest of the stack intact.

I'd also like to see the trend of small numbers of game pieces continue - it makes it much easier to keep track of what's going on and makes defense way more important.
