I have two responses to this:

1. As has been discussed before, I believe teams not "fully utilizing" the control system is more a factor of the teams' unfamiliarity. I saw the teams doing some amazing things. The camera stuff couldn't have been done with the old control system, for example. Maybe issue a challenge to your programming team to step up their game

2. I think the best year to introduce a system is one where the transition will be least felt. Can you imagine how many teams would be left out in the cold if this year's game required teams to get the camera working? My opinion is ramping into the new system (traction control? ) is actually a better method.
