It really can bring down the game.

FIRST received negative feedback on cooperating with a simple game element, I doubt the whole game will be about assisting and working together. Think about 2010, with robots hanging from robots. We only saw that a few times the whole season!
It still would be nice to see it brought back in my opinion. It brings a whole new element to the match and can be very exciting. Just because 254 couldn't do it that well doesn't mean much. Teams should have realized that it ment something and should have designed robots to easily accomplish the relatively easy task. That is the reason lots of teams struggled at regionals, they didn't know how to coopertate.
