Yes, it appears as though defense and good driving are much more effective in preventing high scoring than in previous years. This seems primarily due to the fact that the goal is actively moved by the robots.
This is a stark contrast with Overdrive, in which almost no defense was permitted.
I believe that maneuverability of a robot is crucial this year, and at events like the MI states and Champs, robots will be much more maneuverable and it will take a lot more driving skill to effectively pin and score on a trialer.
On that note, it is very likely that the scores will continue to decrease as the season progresses, so 151 will probably be the year's high score.
