This is true, to a point. Once every gram is eliminated, how do you make it faster? If you have a few weeks until your competition, I'd suggest exploring how (subject to your capabilities and resources).
I may investigate a direct-drive option this weekend; though we also need to do a better "V" for the deployment mechanism.
As for minibot that takes less than 1 second to go > 7.5 feet? Well, I've had a bit of foot-in-mouth about minibots this season so I won't really comment on it.
