Same here - not as a "new normal", but as one of the ways to shake things up and make sure that everyone's solving the challenge, not just rehashing what they did the past few years because they know it.
And there were definitely some upsets at the high levels - on Carson, the #1 alliance (lead by 254 The Cheezy Poofs) was eliminated in quarters and the #5 alliance went to Einstein. A tangled auto and a stack placed atop litter toppled another in the first round, and a robot fell over the second during auto - end of season. Once on Einstein, the other top alliance anticipated prior to CMP (148 Robowranglers allied with 1114 Simbotics) went down in semis - it was the #4 alliance that took the gold and the #5 that took silver. While I did not notice any 3/7 victories, I did see several 4/6 can splits which were won by the team with only four RCs.
