Two robots on a bridge at the end scores a solid 20, or 40 for three robots during the Elims.
That's 113 points in Qualifications and 133 points in Eliminations. Take that and add the number of times your opponent fouled.
Oh 110+ is happening at least twice per regional event.

You are assuming every single ball will be placed into the top basket. Do you really think each robot on an alliance will be able to not just score on the top basket, but score 5 balls on that basket?
Also taking time into account, one alliance scoring 15 balls in the top basket in 2 minutes means each score is an average of 8 seconds including picking up the balls, getting to the basket, lining up, and scoring all while avoiding defense. Although that is possible, in a first week regional do you think most, if not any teams will be able to set up for a score in 8 seconds?
Taking into account the possibility of scoring 3 with one setup makes a lot more sense. 24 seconds to do all of that with a few seconds to score works out for me, but still not on the top basket.
I really love discussions like this! It really gets you a feel of how the game will hopefully workout (even though it almost never goes as expected).
