Why? Rookie teams can easily view last year's competition for strategy, and no one said the game piece had to be the same, or that the goals had to be the same size/location. I'm fairly confident changing the exercise balls to some sort of rigid, 5 foot long object would throw a wrench in the majority of last year's mechanisms ;)
(Oh, you could also add an endgame. Would require major redesigns.)

What you just described is a brand new game. New goals, new game piece, new match setup. That is already what they do and I personally like it that way. Plus, you can't use last years robot or any assembly built before kick off. Unless that rule changes too but I don't think that would happen.
