I don't think they will. The "ten-point clause" was new in the manual last year, and I think that it's there just to give the GDC an option if the game turned out completely imbalanced.

If they do change it, that will anger a lot of people. In contrast to balancing last year, in order to do a 30 point climb, you have to fully design your robot around it. Last year, triple balancing was something doable even if your robot wasn't designed to only triple balance.
