Good concept....here's a little more
While I will not be attending the Blitz (most likely), I think this will definitely add to the game. It certainly can't hurt it. I have a couple more suggestions though.
What if the two outer bins were worth slightly less than the middle bin, say 5 and 10. This would make those robot that do take out the whole wall or the middle have a slight advantage...but that one bin could also be stolen or equaled by the other two bins. Just a thought.
My other, crazier thought, is that these colored bins should count at 10 bins, not just an additional 10 points. Say, if you have a stack of 4 bins with 10 on the floor, you would normally get 40 points. If one of those on the floor is a colored one, you would actually get 76 points (4 x 19). If you had a colored one in the stack, you actually get 130 (13 x 10). This would really ramp up the scores and cause some major defense of the colored bins.
In both cases, its still way too easy to push bins out of the zones...but just think...if in the last second you have no stacks, but can put a colored one on top of something else...and you have a mess of 20 bins...you just got yourself 220 points instead of 30.
Think about it everyone.
