Real reason...

FIRST is trying to make this year's event more...broadcastable. If you have a bunch of balls in goals surrounded by robots, you don't get to see those bright colors. Thhis way, your robot MUST grab below the LOWEST point at which balls can sit. This way, boradcasters and spectators can see the balls clearly and easily!

Its all part of the ever-growing commercialism of the competition.

Fun, eh?
