Floor pick up is really only important when things are easy to pick up. Frisbees were hard so it wasnt important. 2012 basketballs were really easy to pick up, so you pretty much needed one. And in 2011, Most teams did have one, yes, but, I remember the cycling teams like The Thunder Chickens and The Gator Bots were much faster than trying to pick up tubes (mainly because they were so light that they moved out of the way easy)

As for years before that, I cant speak, I have only been around since '11
I think that the team you are really thinking of is Spartonics 1503.

I also think that the better way to phrase this to make everyone happy is that a complex strategy and design is not necessary. Keeping things simple and leaving the in game thinking to a minimum is more effective than swamping drivers with options that they will never use or, even worse, use ineffectively.
