How many teams got pieces from the 2013 human players? Why is 2011 the go to example? FRC teams has plenty of examples of how to pick up tubes from the 1997 and 2007 games. Throw them a game object they've never seen before, and they're far more likely to load from a human player than anywhere else (see 1997, 2005, 2013). Especially if they can't be lobbed across the field by the human player like they were in 2011.
Also, off the top of my head, 1218 also loaded from the human player in 2011.
And I'd rather have "ticky tack" fouls than make it borderline impossible for 30th percentile teams to load successfully.

Or just knock them all over and laugh as 50% of teams can no longer pick them up and re-orient them to score successfully.
