I disagree.

This is one of those things that teams need to be aware of and design around, as part of the design challenge. I think it's much more real-world to actually have some imposed design constraints rather than having FIRST provide us a system that can be plugged together and won't fail (like Lego League). Even FTC needs to be careful about motor loads.
