The best alliance in the world should probably have the fastest canburglars, so probably some combination of Group A and Group B:
A: [67, 548, 971, 973, 1678, 1918, 3310] (Good Human Player Robots with some of the fastest can grabbers in the world)
B: [33, 118, 254, 1114] (Landfill Robots capable of 3+ stacks/match and a 20 point auto.

There is only one (technically 2) robot in the world faster than 254's can grabbers and that is 1678. I'm not counting the harpoons for this, since they are a totally different strategy.

First off, I spent all of thursday, and friday recording can grabbers on newton, and all of saturday recording grabbers on other fields during elims. I recorded at 120 fps with a samsung galaxy S6, then went back and counted frames for each grabber to try to get accurate speeds. Because of the fact that 120fps recording gives me a time resolution of 8.3ms I rounded times to the closest 10 or 5 ms increments so times aren't perfectly accurate. The other thing to note is that I didn't have a way to know exact enable times for matches that we (1678) didn't play in so I don't know exactly how long grabbers took to startup. Our triggers took about 2 frames (~15ms) to fire when tested off the field so that was the only robot I had an accurate initialization time for. All times for recorded grabbers are posted.

These times are all hook-to-the-can. I'm not putting time-to-unstealable because it's hard to tell how far the can needs to tip for the other team to not
In no particular order:

1114 harpoons - 105 milliseconds (word of mouth)
1114 2 can - 350 ms
971/254/973 cheesecake - 175 ms
148/1923 cheesecake - 175 ms
1678 (4 wraps, on the field) - 175 ms
1678 (5 wraps, pits) - 158 ms
987 - 290 ms
3310 - 205 ms
5027 - 266 ms
2056 - 250 ms
3940 - 300 ms
1918 - 225 ms
1711 - 370 ms
330 - 400 ms
2046 - 350 ms
3339 - 470 ms
368 - 370 ms
1983 - 480 ms
166 - 400 ms

I accidentally deleted some videos but I think I recall a couple of times for some teams I recorded, give me a heads up if I made any mistakes:

67 - 205 ms
118 - 205 ms
548 - 205 ms
16 - 350 ms?
