In the context of Aerial Assist, I agree with this. I believe our speed on the field was a component of our success this season.

I think it's fair to argue for 95+% of teams the difference between a 16fps high gear and a 20+ fps high gear is not what will make them more competitive.
Gearing that high requires a higher attention to detail mechanically, as well as a good supply of batteries. Many teams don't realise their batteries are in bad shape because their robots simply don't use that much juice.
