I apolligize for being ambiguous...
I meant to say that FIRST added the new rule. I'm sure they wanted to see someone do it. From what I heard, the referees have been pretty nitpicky with the lifting robots. They've kept a close eye on how stable they are with the other bot...
To say this issue isn't relevant, however, would be wrong. Yes, this must be addressed for next year...
For the most part, you don't have to lift the robot far off the ground to break traction. If you're a tall ball bot then there would be some worry, but I'm sure the referees would be more than happy to make the call to deny the lifting, if they see that problems may arise.
