Exactly
CURRENT TECHNOLOGY. If they changed the requirements FIRST technology would change to as well.
If you've ever seen some of the early years there was a lot more variety in bots, very few robots contain original and unique systems. The materials used as well have stagnated lately. Most robots are just a collection of systems used on their bot or others in previous years. Changing the requirements slightly would force teams to be more creative.
