Based on what I've seen so far, here's what I think.
The autonomous at Waterloo if 1114/2056/another team could pass 66, what with 2056 making a 42 point and 1114 making a 18 point autonomous and the other making 2, possibly 3 in the top. There's about 66/72.
Then you have climbers; 1114 has a 30 point climber, 2056 has a 10 point climber and, if they can manage to procure a decent third member, a 10 point hang from them. You've got 50 in the bag right there.
Now, assuming the third alliance member can manage 2 disc relays of 4 in the top hoop since they'd probably do things a lot slower. That's 24 points there, bringing the whole thing to about 140-150 or so points. To get the 100, you'd need each of the other 2 to get about 50 points each to reach the 250 mark. 1114 was in a match in GTRE where they scored 16 frisbees, and another where they scored around 18. Those two robots are lightning fast and they both operate different parts of the field for pickup--namely the floor and the feeder station--so they wouldn't get in each other's way. Even though 1114 uses the feeder station, the human player+intake fluidity+speed makes it irrelevant in terms of points per match. In this case, the alliance would net a few points ahead of 260, if not more.
This is assuming the defense is lacking/doesn't exist against them.
And imagine how they (you can sub 1114 and 2056 for other elite bots like the astounding 254/987 combo) could do if they were at champs, where the 3rd bot is still a formidable little machine. 250 seems like a very likely thing to happen for at least one alliance; based on what I've seen, I think 2 or 3 different sets of alliances will break the 250 point barrier.
No comment on breaking 300, I just don't see it.
