I'm not entirely clear on what you are getting at, but I believe you are trying to say that in the 2002 game with a restriction on robot-to-robot interaction limited to the bumper zone would make grabbing the mobile goals difficult.

With that assumption in mind, I'll say that last year (Overdrive) was the first year to introduce the restriction on robot-to-robot interaction to the bumper zone with robot penalties linked to contact outside of the bumper zone. Last year's game also had an aspect of the game where teams reached outside of their bumper zone to accomplish a game task. I propose that grabbing the 2002 mobile goals wouldn't be any different in that regard, but that some of the robots in 2002 would be designed differently with the robot contact restrictions in place at the beginning of the season... just as the robots would have to change to include bumpers.
