Maybe, 1114 or 254 will go ahead and prove me wrong, but I think that is close to impossible. I think that the top tier robots (top 25 teams) will score between 80 and 100 points per match at best.
TL;DR: Could a human score that much in a match? Then neither can your robot

1) I would suggest that a machine, well built, can score more than a human.
2) yes, 254 and 1114 will likely have great robots. However, there are always lots of great robots.
3) 150+ pts: solo 28 pt auto; 40 for coopertition stack; 90 for three stacks of 5 totes and a bin. This is my team's goal. Our prototyping tells me that this is very attainable. We might even go six high or be able to do a fourth stack... However, our programmers are being shortchanged (again) so we'll see what we can actually do our first match. We may not make it, but we're trying. We figure we'll never reach Einstein if the bar is not set high.
