One thing that is kind of an unmeasured quantity - because of its difficulty - is blocking the throws. The high scoring bots are generally pretty narrow vertically, but if you were a REALLY good driver you could in theory play soccer goalie somewhere deep, block the gamepieces mid-air with your arm extended and then herd them away. I doubt that the human players that are throwing across the field are putting enough of an arc to go over a 12'+ robot at the caution line.
