I know people who aren't active in robotics, but have gone to a competition in 2014, and also a competition last year, telling me that watching 2016 was much cooler.

Honestly it really isn't that hard to explain games to new people. I mean yes "robots have to shoot big balls in giant goals" is pretty easy, but saying "robots have to grab and place gears, grab and shoot fuel, and climb the rope" isn't that much harder. (Yes I do realize that isn't it, but you get my point.) And if you really want to explain the detailed rules to a spectator, there were just as many in 2014 (for example truss shots, catch points, 3 bot cycles etc.).
It's just so much cooler to go around doing different things and allows for better alliance building- you need 2-3 really great robots to succeed, and each of those robots is fulfilling a different role (this year especially).
