I thought the same thing about how the whole taking and placing the tubes was quite similar to 2007. I immediately started to think about how my hometown team's robot from that year could be easily re-made to adapt to this challenge. But while the tubes feel like deja vu, I love the minibots because I never have seen or would have thought of introducing a game aspect like that.

I can just imagine little kids watching the game for the first time and their eyes going wide when towards the end of the match the minibots deploy... "Woahhh!" Wouldn't be surprised if it causes an increase in Jr./FLL students next year!
