Moreso than any recent year, many teams could not play the game. Why? The harsh intake rules. I view FIRST went too hard on this, at the expense of lower end teams.

I agree with this as well. I think they did not want to see teams that could completely dominate a ball and power it up into the goal. They wanted the ball to be vulnerable at all times. The rules did the best they could to ensure teams never really had COMPLETE control over a ball, but the best teams still figured out how to do it (ie: 254, 148, 217, 1114). What it meant for the lower end teams was that they could hardly interact with the game piece in a way they wished to. A lot of it was bumping and praying you timed it right.
