I think it is a part of a larger theme of "Even if we all loved 200X's game/rules/etc, recreating 200X over and over again isn't optimal or what we are about". Some people prefer Formula 1 racing, some people Rallies. Formula 1 is all about optimization and perfection, Rally Racing is about adaptability and agility. I believe FRC is more like Rally Racing.

Additionally, I hope that it is part of a "Think outside the KoP" theme. I'd love to see what teams came up with.
I was referring to building a second (aka practice) robot during the 2010 competition season.
