You can say "Rookies will find it hard" with literally any change in the FRC challenge. I'm kind of tired of hearing of it as a blanket "this idea won't work" response, because that applies to any game that doesn't have a role for an unmodified kitbot. Granted, it's been 4 years since the unmodifed kitbot could not score an offensive point (or run empty cells in Lunacy), but still. It's a challenge. Any kind of "it's too hard" response shouldn't be used as a reason not to do something. More like a reason to definitely do something.
