This is possible, but I do remember at least a few matches where there were only 2-3 balls in the goals for one alliance at the end of the match. From what I saw, there was a huge difference among the human players- some were OK (it would be unGP to say "bad"
) and some were very, very, good.
I remember in particular one of the playoff rounds at the NJ Regional...ok, so I don't really remember because I can't tell you the team name or exact match (this being my first ever regional, I was slightly exhausted by the time 3:00 Saturday afternoon rolled around
) but I'm sure someone else can give you the information. The point is, their human player made most, if not all, shots they took. The stationary goal was pretty much completely full at the end of the match. It was ridiculous. (Good ridiculous.)
Another thing possibly worth mentioning is that the goals aren't solid- there are obviously gaps between the PVC piping, so some shots that were on target actually slipped through those gaps. I realize that's part of the game, I'm just pointing out that this could account for low scoring without the blame being placed on the human player.
Our team comes from a very small school and we don't have sports teams at all, so we didn't have any kind of tryouts or anything. Our human player was selected mostly because he was an upperclassman who expressed interest. We just got lucky in the fact that he was pretty darn good.
