I'd like to see what happens when all the herding/trapping/driving-on-top-of/shooting-outside-the-opposing-courtyard rules were lifted. It seems like it could make the refs jobs a lot easier, there would be a lot more high-flying game pieces, and teams could get more creative with strategy (both defensively and offensively). This might have to correlate with more tower strength, but that isn't really a problem.

Defensive robots wouldn't only be robots that can drive well, but now defensive robots that can remove game pieces from their courtyard would be valued, as would robots that can feed their attacking shooters in the opposing courtyard.

Subsequently, when teams don't have to cycle every time they needed a gamepiece to score (because they could be fed them by partners shooting them into the courtyard), we would probably see less defense crossings in a match, and maybe force teams to make a strategic decision to either feed boulders and score more, or cycle and get more crossings, ideally making it more work to breach the Outer Works without heavily modifying the breaching rules.
