Erin;
If you have your heart set on changing the game, there are only two things I'd touch -
1. - Change Elimination Rounds to be a 2 of 3 format. This won't have an adverse effect on robot function.
2. - Reduce the value of the ramp points. Because, through the season, so many robots have been modified to do things other than stack, I would try hard to avoid swinging the pendulum too far to the stacking end of things. You'll notice the two other replies are from stacking teams. I think that, by making the ramp points 15 rather than 25, there's still incentive to battle for the top, but stacking has more potential to play a role.
In the end, though, I think that if you do change that point value, the net result will simply be lower scoring rounds. I don't anticipate that stacking will become any more important that it's been for the past two months.
...and, likewise, if you need any help with things, I'd be more than happy to do what I can.

I agree thaqt a lot of thought goes into the game. No one knew that the game was going to be played in the way it was. Maybe they should change the name from "Stack Attack" to "Battle Bins". LOL. It has a hard game to play, but still a lot of fun.
Good Luck To Everyone at the invitationals.
