Yes. Especially if there are many of them in one area.

Yes. I foresee a large number of robots with low ground clearance this year.

Yes. It is almost always worthwhile to have the option to pick up a game piece off the floor.

Maybe. With a little creativity I think that the size restrictions can be worked around without too much complexity. You are only saving time if the floor pickup you design is faster than your cycle times. Don't bother picking up off of the floor if it is going to take you half the match to do it.
