Yes, this test we were going slow just to make sure everything was working properly. Also, our driver wasn't fully acquainted with the controls. Before we bagged it, I believe our final time was 30 seconds, which leaves room for some defense. There is only one motor on our winch which is a BaneBot Motor on a relay.
