Possibly not:
-Recycling bins act as triplers, which means a robot that is strong at sticking them on top will probably be weaker in qualifying than it would be with an alliance of stackers. It might spend all of prelims getting 8pts per bin, then start getting 20pts apiece in playoffs once paired with good stackers.
-Heavy human-player involvement means that a team with a good noodle-tosser will score significantly higher than their robot might warrant. And again, such a team might not be useful in playoffs because you'd be facing stronger opposition that might be able to organize getting the noodles into their landfill, thus negating the tossers advantage.

This is different than:
2008: Linear scoring and limited (any? my memory is fuzzy) human-player scoring
2012: Linear scoring and unlikely human-player scoring
2013: Linear scoring and unlikely human-player scoring
