Yes, it can go faster, we have done sub-20 second climbs. We were running at ~40% throttle on both the extend and retract portions because our secondary driver was not around for this test, so our sub was taking it very slowly. Extending actually can go much faster than this, and retracting is also noticeably faster. We also recently changed some geometries which made the hook go a bit higher than we would like, which made alignment slightly more difficult.
