They need more practice. There were teams geared to 22 fps this year and they weren't doing too badly once the drivers learned how to use it. Maybe try adding an easily adjustable 3rd stage like the versachassis WCD has so you can get your drivers up to the maximum speed they feel comfortable with. Our driver this year was geared to 16fps and wanted to go faster.
