I don't see arms as a handicap. It seems to always just depend on the designer. This years rookies have held as much capability as the veterans. 1592 and 1649 for example at our regional had it goin on. I don't see the teams age as a factor when the kit is of this quality. I could have replicated our bots abilities straight out of the kit with a few lost features but performance would have been basically the same.

I also don't see how this rule changes much. Other than don't bump robots that are "in the process of" capping a goal with multiple tetras already on it. Or if you think you can do it without causing them to knock off the already scored tetras. Now the inverse of this that adds to the offense capability is to intentionally descore a goal while getting hit. So you can manually penalize a team that's willing to take the risk of hitting you while you cap. It's interesting.

But if a robot is scoring a goal that hasn't been capped yet, you can hit them all you want because there's nothing to descore, right?
