The GDC will improve the overall game by allowing ONLY 1 team from each alliance to touch the step cans

The design fundamentals are still similar with only 1 robot pulling Cans in Autonomous. The only real design difference is the ability to pick up 2 or 4 cans.
However, teams don't have to spend the entire season up to champs trying to get 0.1 second faster. Instead, teams might spend more time trying to get all 4 cans. It keeps the competition from turning into a throwback mini-bot race.
