Yes, though it's worth mentioning that--as well as a 40kPa teleop robot could do at many events--the ultimate definition of "fast, high-efficiency fuel shooter" is earning 40 kPa on its own in autonomous and leaving the teleopers in the dust. Given the bonus's decrease vs gears once you hit elims, a 40 kPa teleop throughput loses a lot of value there.
