The three rules I'd like to see that wouldn't modify the scoring:

1. The other alliance's bridges are only protected during the last 30 seconds of the match.
No 9 point penalties, allows you to go after their balls for more offense. Also makes a 3 robot balance more difficult because it needs to be done in 30 seconds.

2. The other alliance's alley is not off limits in the last 30 seconds of the match.
This would effectively allow a team to shoot their way out of a triple balance. It would also allow some defense before the bridge, making harassing the other team and defending a triple balance easier.

3. The other alliance's key is not protected during the first 30 seconds nor the last 30 seconds of the match.
Another shift in strategy. Would allow a robot to drive to the other side of the field and harass the opposing alliance in autonomous mode, and would be a difficult programming challenge.
Would also allow defense virtually anywhere during the last 30 seconds.
