Easy. SAY you can do it in 1.4 seconds.

If there is one thing I have learned in my seven years of FRC, is that what works with one robot on the practice field rarely works as smoothly when you have six robots crammed on to a playing field.

As for getting it back down, the easiest would seem to be to either have the motors turn off (a switch or a fuse, perhaps) and then let it backdrive down.
