Wait for all of the balls to drop from a hopper: 2-3s (observed in the Hopper tour video)
Time to drive to the hopper, then drive to shooting position, align to goal, and start firing: 15-1-8-2=4s to 15-1-10-3=1s
Seems like quite a stretch to me.

leverage the fact that both goals do 5/second and you can put 30 in the top and 30 in the bottom. that drops processing down to 6-8 seconds. the extra two seconds could be all you need.
