ball cycle time & other question

Hey everyone! So I was thinking today about how quickly the ball could be cycled back by the human players. This is because I realized that one robot could still win the game single handedly hence removing the need to even bother with the ASSIST bonus. If a robot shoots from one side of field, over the truss and into the goal that gets 20 points right? That's equal to one ASSIST score. Which means that theoretically a alliance with one cross-court robot and 2 potato bots could beat 2 ASSIST focused robot and their potato bot. So this comes down to how fast the humans can cycle the balls back to their robot. So my question is, how long does it take the humans to cycle the ball back into play? Does anyone have an idea as to how long it'll take?
