As a counterpoint, though, for most teams - who don't build a practice bot and therefore don't have the time to train a driver for super-high speed manuvering or develop robust autoshifting code - super high ( I view that to be above the 16-17 fps range) speeds can be absolutely terrible.
Case in point: Us last year. While our drive was a monster and for the most part dominated the field, our driver was, for our first competition, terrified to drive in high gear because of the high risk of blowing the breaker. It took him the full competition to really get the hang of obstacle avoidance and shifting for plowing.
