There's little reason for the 1.1CFM limit on the compressor aside from a conscious choice by the GDC to limit how quickly you can store energy in the form of compressed air. That being the case, you'll see free stored energy available field side about the time the GDC removes the flow limits on robot compressors. I'm not holding my breath for that.

Also, teams misunderstand the bumper rules every year too. It's still unlikely the GDC is going to back off on them because looser bumper rules mean both flimsier bumpers and more teams engineering bumpers for a competitive advantage like wedging.
