You could climb in 1 sec with 2 CIMs, but it would be close and your extension to get the bar in the first place would have to be nearly instant.

In the last 20 seconds you can drive around the opponent's courtyard fully extended, regardless of whether you're on the batter or not. So 17 second of extending while driving around still scoring, plus 3 seconds for the lift itself.
Supposing the 40A breakers can handle the over-current match-to-match attached is how it's potentially done in under 1 second. Of course, the 80% gearbox efficiency doesn't account for the winch and any associated pulley inefficiency. I also divide JVN's current draw per motor by the efficiency just as a rough estimate of how much extra current is pulled due to these inefficiencies.
This particular setup would also need anti-backdrive.
