I can't picture a good way to make passing game elements between robots figure into the scoring. I wouldn't want to make the referees responsible for keeping track of each time a game piece is passed between robots.

I think that game piece passing could be plausible if there were a small number of game elements. We have had 12+ smallish game pieces for a long time, it might be kind of fun to deal with 6 or fewer larger game pieces again like in 2008.
