C'mon Kevin ... There is NO WAY this rule has seriously impacted any team's strategy ...
It is clear that the intent of the game is for the bonus points to be scored by the action of the robots, not by humans stacking them before the match begins.
IMO this rule change is mostly benign, and only serves to preserve the "intent" of the game.
Most here are upset only because their feathers were first ruffled by the TU#16 fiasco. I would agree that was a serious mistake by FIRST which would have had a devastating impact on many teams ... but fortunately has now also been corrected.
We should all let this go, and MOVE ON ...
