2012 - Humans win. Humans can balance and shoot baskets no problem.
2011 - Robots win. Humans are short and lack minibots.
2010 - Humans win. Humans can control a soccer ball.
2009 - Robots win. Humans can't store many game pieces or easily pull a trailer.
2008 - Humans win. A human can run around the track and throw the trackball quickly.
I don't know enough about older games to evaluate human performance.

Whats interesting is how differently the humans would play the game than the robots each year.
2015: Humans would likely build stacks, then cap them unlike most teams in 2015 who build a stack underneath a container.
2014: Humans would often opt for truss/catch maneuvers instead of trussing to HP, and they would finish from up close unlike many other robots.
2013: Humans would be able to basically dunk 4 discs into the 2-pt goal easily, and some would be able to do the same for the 3-pt goal. Humans could easily climb the pyramid and dump colored discs, as well as block the robot's full-court shooters with ease.
2012: Humans would dunk, but balancing might be hard for three humans, as all three would be constantly moving their body weight around.
2011: Humans don't have minibots, but could otherwise easily fill up all scoring slots
2010: Humans would crush at this game, and could hang from or climb onto the tunnels with ease.
2009: I don't even wanna think about this one.
2008: Humans could hurdle the ball and catch it with ease and do far more laps than most robots.
