That will be the
average score for a Week 1 #1 Seed, so yes, that would be the entire alliance score.
Thinking about it, a stack of 6 Totes is only worth 12 points. Sure, placing a RC on top of that stack triples its value, but imagine the amount of caution that teams will be using in order to avoid knocking these stacks over.
Like I said, a team's on-field performance will rely heavily on the drivers' experience, possibly more than any other game. Teams in the early weeks will have great robots, but not every team has the luxury of being able to build a practice 'bot and many teams complete their machines with barely enough time left in build season to give their drivers practice.
Yes, it may seem low, but you have to remember that this is an individual ranking system in a team game. The #1 seed may average 60 points by themselves, but I wouldn't put it too far off base to say that their alliance partners will only average 10 points.
