No matter how good 67, 111 and 45's really are (and they'll probably be better), they won't be able to score 8 points if the robots aren't designed to do so, and I think that's the point here; the lack of 8 point-finales may become a self-fulfilling prophecy - if no one believes it will happen, no one will spend time building the robot to do it, and then it will obviously not happen.
