If you can just slam the gear on the peg and instantly drive away, you can save those precious seconds.

Not necessarily. Our team was talking about this, if we have some sort of visual indicator on top of the bot (like a led ring) that turns green as soon as the gear is good to go, the pilot yanks up hard, and the bot drives away. Shouldn't take more than an extra second than just leaving the gear there.
