That's why our can grabbers were going ~30% the speed of sound when they hit the cans. I can use a lot of words to describe that mechanism but safe was so far down that list it may as well have been a mid-Atlantic boat anchor.
I expect to see some fast robots and some fast climbs, but I doubt many fast climbs will be sub 1.5 second.
