I would not enjoy this because engineering should not be based on voting. Imagine if 469's 2010 robot was outlawed by popular vote? Furthermore, teams strategize based on these constraints. For example, many teams did not pursue a climbing mechanism this year because they felt that climbing was too hard for the point benefit. If all these rules could be changed on a dime late in season these teams would be burned really badly.
