Yes... 150+ is ridiculously hard solo in 2:15. I don't buy 10 worldwide can do it doubt even ONE can do it.
I don't care if you have a conveyor and three tethered together robots it still takes time...135 seconds with maybe a bit of room from the 32 max in auto. But I assume a solo 150+ point bot would need to be "in optimum stacking place" at end of auto for tele-op.

Best case max point stack at 42 points max stack .... is 3.67 completed solo stacks (a bit less adding in auto) for an average of completed max stack every 36 seconds with RC and noodle placed...does not leave time to get co-op solo 40 pts at all. Pretty sure an efficient stacker does not have a great mobility attribute. Before you say Batman..did you see it stack and how long those stacks took I saw a lot of driving around with 6 stacks.

I would have to see 150 points solo to believe it... Stacking takes time regardless of how you slice it other variables at play field conditions can change and robots can knock down stacks negating good intentions.

Maybe with noodle throwing but that shouldn't count....as solo.

Over 100 solo sure is possible with top bots...150 consistently not so much...guess we'll find out soon
