Actually the Zone Zeal ('02) goals did have big PVC poles in the center and the Soccer balls had much more of a tendency to hit the tops of the PVC poles and bounce away. The rocks/cells do not bounce nearly as much. '04 goals had no poles and HP's made quite a few shots since the big goals were stationary and the mobile goals were often used once to catch the dumped balls from the overhead release.
Anyway, I tend to think that in the beginning of auto a somewhat practiced HP should be able to make 2 (perhaps 3) before the robot really starts moving quickly. So perhaps 12-18 points before auto is over.
As for during the match I expect HP's to be doing more scoring than a moving robot with a moving target, although I am sure there will be robots excellent at shooting that will likely not be the norm. The goals will not be abruptly changing position (aside from collisions) given the traction so the HP shots are possible, but you better start practicing now

Perhaps 40-50 points will be average. I think seeing more than 1-2 super cells implemented successfully in a match will be a bit uncommon.
