That is fundamentally untrue, and easy to demonstrate as untrue.
Our current minibot is in the 1.8 second range (and very consistent, thank you), and even when we add excess weight just to see what it does with it, it's still faster.
Reducing weight matters, but increasing efficiency matters a whole lot, too. It's not a dichotomy, here -- both are important!
