Actually, that brings up a really good point. Assume that while "five 'bots are tangling with pasta" there is a truncated pyramid or similarly shaped object on wheels like the mobile goals of '04, or the puck of '98? (in that year robots physically got on top of the puck and were awarded points for it). There would be points for the robot atop of the rolling truncated pyramid (isn't that just a fun word to say?) at the end of the match. Probably in order for most bots to climb it they would need help of an alliance partner, but good robots could mount it themselves leaving 2 of their robots to tangle with pasta while they fended for themselves.

And could you imagine getting on said object in Autonomous Mode?!?!?!?
