The 2 sides of the see-saw would be marked by color. One scoring container will be next to the center of the see-saw, and the other will be all the way on the end. Tennis balls scored in the center container, and therefore lower and closer to the ground, making them easier to score in, are worth 3-5 points(I don't really know how much yet). Tennis balls scored in the outer and higher container are worth 8 points each. Also, tennis balls on the ground in an alliance's zone contribute 1 point each to that alliance's score. Also, whichever team puts more tennis balls in the containers, causing it to tip towards that team's alliance station, gets and additional bonus added to their score of a value to be determined.
I don't really know how the tennis balls would be added to the field, but that could be decided. I also think that having different levels of scoring allow participation from all levels of teams, as the more valuable goals/containers are more difficult to achieve.

I would like to take that one step further. Color the balls, and let them be scored in any containers. The robot has to sort out balls, or risk scoring points for the opposing alliance. Starving the other alliance is also a viable strategy. Black balls on the field could nullify the entire container, yellow balls double the entire container.
