I think overall they add value to the program.

While it may lessen the creativity for some, it seems to bring up the floor for a greater number. Even with the designs there were many "box on wheels". It is still not easy to recreate for many teams.

I believe more students are inspired by a better competition with the floor being raised, as opposed to the less students inspired with the lowered creativity.

It appears to me to be a net overall win for the program.
