The difference is that last year's rule change was made in an effort to get rid of a "flaw" in the game design. If you don't agree that it was a flaw, feel free to read about what happened at GTR East last year.

And the limit at 4 makes extra disc autonomous routines more challenging because a robot must release at least one of its 3 discs before it goes to pick up a pair of discs. If the limit is 5 discs, a 9 disc auto becomes a real possibility. I'm honestly surprised nobody ever tried starting with 2 discs from the back of the pyramid and doing an 8 disc auto.
