I'm surprised how similar 2006 was. Distribution is tail heavier... but otherwise basically the same.

2006 Game Animation, for reference.

(3 pts per ball in high goal, 1 pt per ball in low goal, 25/10/5 for 3/2/1 robots on the ramp at the end of the match, and a 10 pt bonus to whichever alliance scores the most points in autonomous)

Draw your own conclusions about robot ability from those scores, they aren't broken out by how they were scored. For example, every match could have had a 25 pt ramp bonus... but as I recall they were not that common.
