Sharp is in 2nd place with only 5 ELO below the first human.
That does certainly not look like a comfortable advantage.
So is mankind in danger to lose Arimaa to the machines aswell?

The gameroom ratings are highly volatile, and also easy to manipulate.
Sharp's rating is high due to volatility (It won several games when it had a high RU), and syed's is high due to manipulating his rating by repeatedly defeating weaker bots.
In reality, sharp is probably several hundred points behind the top player at a 2min/move time control.
I do not expect the chosen Challenge defenders to have difficulty this year. Rather, I expect that the two "elite" defenders win their first two games, and win their third at a handicap if they are adventurous enough to try.

The bots have never been anywhere close to winning the Arimaa challenge. So I would have to say no.
