Lower level teams would work on getting some sort of minibot - it would have a higher priority than it does now for them. A good minibot would make them even more appealing in the second round to the elite teams.
Middle/good level teams would once again raise the priority of a minibot. However, they would place more emphasis on consistency than speed, as in matches they could band with other middle level teams to gain a lot of points. Also, they would hope to be picked through their minibot or be a lower alliance captain.
Elite teams would continue with the same minibot "arms race" as they have now. As the practical limit to minibot speed has now been reached, essentially, they would have hit this end point a couple of weeks earlier than in the season.
What if rules G21 and G22 was modified in the following way: you had to deploy your minibot below the current line as normal, but after the whole minibot had crossed the lin , your robot could touch it again?
