I believe the highest score I saw at Manchvegas was about 150. I did miss a few matches whilst preparing to be human player, but I'm fairly sure no one went much higher than that.

On Thursday, during the practice rounds, an alliance of us (Team 1073) and Team Hyper 69 scored well over 200 points during the 2 minute limit. Our robot herded an ungodly amount of balls (it can do four at a time very well) to me and Joe (the hyper human player), and we filled up the stationary goal. That was capped by Hyper. They then hung. Joe and I then proceeded to fill up the mobile goal. Though there was no official tally, I counted the number of balls roughly and the final score was over 200 points.

Man, we were a good alliance. Unfortunately, they were seeded second, and we were seeded ninth, and when 501 (1st seed) picked Hyper, we were bumped up, and therefore unable to be chosen. Hyper's robot played in all of the finals matches and the alliance of Hyper, The Power Knights, and Team 176 eventually won Manchvegas.

But yeah...that was the highest I've seen so far...
