Trying to get an extra tote or 2 out at the last second wasn't worth the risk of knocking down multiple stacks.
In addition. I feel like the virtual field space this years was smaller than many recent games. Many more game pieces that were fairly large by frc standards, paired with scoring ramps and no horizontal limit restrictions for robots resulted in a field that compared to other years felt, well... cramped.
