Given the speed of some of those canburglars, I'm pretty sure the robots would win that match. The average human reaction time is about 0.2 seconds. By the time you heard the starting sound and lunged forward over the landfill to grab a can, it would be gone.

The margin is close enough that, assuming it was safe, I would love to see this competition happen.
