Thank you all for your input... this is what I have contrived so far, with help from a few others
Total field layout will remain the same, it has been thought of to remove the 14" bars... but that supports the ramp structure so none of that
Robots on ramp will = 15 pts
There will be 3 colored bins on the field... at the start of the match they will be located at the 3'd stack height level in the two end stacks and one in the middle stack of the wall on the ramp (I'm aware that i've said 'stack' too much, but bear with me... it's late)
A colored bin is worth 10 additional pts if located anywhere on a alliences colored carpet (if on the floor or in a stack)
So 2 colored bins is worth more than a robot on the ramp! There will be a lot more fighting... and those stack stealing/carring robots can benifit by being able to steal colored bins more easily, but the other robots still have a chance of getting to them too.
Tell me what you think...
constructive critisism and/or support for this idea welcome
