It is WAY easier for the referees, drive teams, and the audience to see whether a robot is touching something on the floor plane than a pyramid with more complex 3D geometry.
If something like this WAS implemented, 48 never would have been able to pull off what they did. It was an amazing sight, we still lost, but it was still very exciting to watch.
