It makes traditional-style can grabbers near-useless, makes capping far more valuable, and makes for some other interesting play, like (lets make 3 stacks of 1 so we can get the cans, then pick those up and turn them into stacks of 6).

I don't think its a useful rule change for an off-season, especially not a high end one.

Totally agree. If this were the rules from the very beginning, we would have seen a lot more 1986-esque robots.

OR a lot of 1024-esque strategies.
