It could also go along with an earlier discussion on what good real life engineering challenges could turn into games, in which waste management came up, but thats just speculation.
I really like this idea, and the point of real life engineering challenges is one we haven't addressed much in this thread.
If this was a scoring rack, the cylinders would still be easy to de-score but probably not as easy as balls. Plus, we have had balls the last 3 years, a change in shape would seem to be in order.
