Keep the game exactly the same, EXCEPT make the step cans available the last 30 seconds of the match only.
Think about that for awhile........
With that rule, competitive alliances would need to create some uncapped tote stacks and then cap them in the end game. Most robots can't do that, because with the real rules it isn't necessary to cap existing stacks. This change would significantly hose a lot of teams.

Also, referees would have to judge whether teams jumped the gun on the can race. I find that less desirable than letting the FCS ensure that the teams all start the race at the same time.
