Limitations too far?

Can the FIRST GDC come up with an interesting challenge in the future without destroying competitiveness and creativity.

I agree, I feel that this game is far too limiting. Some limits (like not being able to extend outside the footprint) force you to think outside the box. Other limits (like limiting you to the vertical plane of your bumper perimeter) crush the box entirely.
