-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

If you're doing good, well-rounded scouting, good capping robots will be noted in your data. (qualitative and quantitative data are both very important!) I think you might be overestimating the human player's individual scoring ability. Excluding human-robot interaction, the human player can score up to 40 points, but they are rather difficult to score because pool noodles arent really designed to be thrown 30-40 feet. However, i think co-op points could mess with OPR, and a good scouting team should make sure OPRs are calculated excluding co-op.
Still waiting for the day when an excel genius far beyond my capabilities makes an OPR calculator that pulls data off TBA
