I think that's pretty level.
Well According to blue alliance that is not true, anyway,

Is this years game leveling the competition? I don't really think so, its just showing how teams response to different engineering challenges. Some teams are taking on complex drive trains and ball delivery systems while other teams are using KISS methods. Both work in this game since the game object is pretty simple, and I think that is what the GDC was looking for this year. Also, with the new controller and such, they probably wanted a game that was easier for new teams and also a game where it was harder to break things (even though we still are).

Also completely agree, 3v1 is basically a death sentence this year.
