Supposed to be 10 ft/s iirc, and if not then very close.

Per http://www.andymark.com/product-p/am-2289.htm
Top speed: 9.7 feet/sec (approximate), with 150 pounds total robot weight

Our team made a kit chassis with one cim one each side and it went 11 ft/sec but we were only 107 pounds roughly

Your weight doesn't affect your speed, only your acceleration.

All else being equal, a heavier vehicle has greater rolling friction and thus somewhat lower top speed.

Which in a lot of cases, is more important than top speed.
