I'd also be concerned that scoring this way would open the door to to
"loophole bots" like Rob's (?) at RTL15
<http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/ffaat/RTL15/100_0457.jpg> which,
while I thought it exploited a clever loophole in the scoring, did
somewhat disadvantage other bots that more closely followed the spirit
of the rules....
...Actually this bot could probably run again on BS/2 sized blocks
with no modification and clear the playfield of cubes for the oponent
to sort/stack quite effectively... It would get points for just
harvesting blocks without color sorting or stacking, unless I am
misreading the proposed rules.
