Sorry if this has already been said, but here goes:

Remove the step. In the last minute, allow robots to cross the center. Any stacks you knock over gain your team half the points that that stack was worth (rounded up), but any stacks completed during that time are worth double. Stacks completed before this time will count as permanently scored, but stacks built during this time and then knocked over will not count. Stolen full stacks scored for the alliance that took them will receive the doubled point value for the team doing the stealing. Recycling containers stolen from the top of still standing stacks would have a point value assigned to each steal, and even more bonus points assigned to whichever stack they are placed on top of. Basically, a 1-minute race to steal as many resources as you can from the other team. Balancing defense, offense, precision, and time management.
