Seems to me the elite tier robots should easily be able to turn 150ish points on their own (20 pts [truss toss +high goal] x 6 cycles + 25 auto). Especially so if they have two defenders clearing the road for them on this wide open field. Total number of cycles is unlikely to change much with assisting, if anything going down slightly.
Adding one assist per cycle, brings the cycle points to 30. If doing so 4 times costs you 2 solo-cycle time periods (going from 6 cycles to 4 in a match), you have no net gain.

Do you really believe that a robot will consistently and repeatably be able to retrieve the inbound pass, drive to the truss, toss the ball over the truss, retrieve the (now bouncing) ball, drive to a scoring position, shoot and score in the high goal, and get back to retrieve another inbounds pass in less than 25 seconds?
I think you are, very much, overestimating most teams capabilities. In the end, there may be 1 or 2 teams in all of FIRST that might be able to pull this off on the competition field, but I doubt it.
