I like yours though, it's new, and I think it'd be harder to manipulate/ more fun to watch. Perhaps it could double as the location for robot scoring (get your robot on top).

Well, if we're talking of lower, how about a balance scale to keep things interesting? Load it any way you safely can (balls, tetras, robots, freshmen), and have that multiply things.
