You could put just as much wattage in your drivetrain and shooter in 2006 as you could today, and there were plenty of teams who did.
What the greater CIM limit (and BAG and MiniCIMs) are really great for is applications that involve stalling motors. The greater durability of these motors has the potential to simplify arm/elevator/manipulator design for low and mid-level teams, in order to better avoid the stall conditions that cause failure in fan-cooled motors (Fischer Price, Banebots 550 and 775, RS-9015, etc.).

I did not know that; my freshman year was 2007.
