This game definitely reminds me of the kinds you might play as a kid in order to get everyone included. "You must pass the basketball to every player before you can shoot." I'm sure people have done things like this. While I'm all in favor of being inclusive and I know that's a good thing especially after last year's game was so difficult, it seems that this is, as you say, taking things a bit too far. While this does help the rookie teams to get to do something, the higher teams who have worked hard to become really good are hampered by the fact that they can't handle the whole thing if necessary. I foresee a lot of problems in the first few rounds of regionals if 2 bots are dead in one alliance.
Oh well, it should still be very fun an interesting.
