I can agree the final match didn't come down to human player shots, because 5 of the 6 teams human loaded their robots, but the overall assertion is by no means correct. More than 55% of the points scored in Lunacy were by human players.

I think games requiring athletic human players don't somehow de-inspire students already on the team. On the contrary, it gives the team a reason to recruit an athletic-oriented student who might not have otherwise been exposed to engineering.
