Wow can't wait to play against/with you guys at kc! Our robot (1710) seems to preform almost exaclty the same as yours. Top row no problem. 3 tubes in about 50 seconds (starting from our rack and goign to pick up each tube from infront of station). Minibot + deployment anywhere from 2.5 to 4 seconds. If we are on an alliance together it could be pretty powerful! There is my sales pitch!
Good Luck!!!
