Understatement. Hurray for consistency in training!

Teams who play this game like battlebots will receive penalties.

Really? The following was called a tech foul against us (blue bot playing offense)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rvUzolCZ-8. We're not the one using our arm as a defensive spear.
Please do continue to rip out wires, pop bearings out of sockets, and bend forks with reckless impunity, n'er do wells of FRC - referees won't mind! They might even blame us for your idiocy!

Teams who know how to properly defend will do well.

If only that were true.

Instead of complaining and picking this game apart, I strongly advise others to find ways to gain understanding of how the refs at the specific regional will make calls.

Frequent visitors. The answer to that question is often "Poorly".

Play the game how it is meant to be played.

Tried. Thinking we do a good job since we've had exactly 2 fouls called on us across three regionals. I don't count the "tech foul" called above.

and I think that teams will enjoy playing the game.

Nope. Still waiting for that "pure" competition experience. I'd like to think we'd get that at the CMP, but then, we didn't qualify. Seems some extra roadblocks tossed in our way detoured us off the path to that desired goal. Would we have reached the finish line without those in the way? Not sure, BUT I SURE WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO FIND OUT.
The waitlist remains our last best hope for the season, but I remain unoptimistic in that regard.
