Well one advantage this this years game is the lack of defense and alliances being seperated. Id love to see some offseason events in which the game was played with 3 robots vs 3 humans. Humans can bring their own canbuglers and even attempt to win that battle. I think it would be very entertaining and possibly a pretty close match.

Honestly in response to the idea of an off-season game consisting of 3 Humans vs 3 Robots would be great. I was on field reset for 2 regionals and at champs, the idea was constantly rolling around in my head and I think that for all the people who want to see a Human vs Robot competition happen I think someone should set one up. Would be very cool and truly interesting to watch the robots try to match us Humans.... Hahahaha

I think in general the top teams do consistently better than humans at any game. 2014 would probably be the exception. 2013, no way- few humans can throw it into the slot as consistently and accuratly as a robot IMO, although the 30 point climb could offset it.
2008 could be tricky for humans due to the sheer size of the ball.
Recycle Rush is the perfect time for humans to play against robots (minus can grabbers). A game with no defense to test their stacking prowess without risk of injury.

Actually, that's possible this year. I've been at events that used half of the field for robot practice while the other half was used for humans...

Challenge: Humans vs Robots. 3 robots vs 3 humans. Standard human player setup behind the wall for both sides. No returning noodles, each alliance is assigned 2 cans from the step.

I'm willing to bet that the humans would give the robots a run for their money--the humans could "airmail" totes to each other.
