Also, add a second or two for alignment. Add 10 seconds if there's any defense at all on you. You're looking at spending a minute or so on shooting, giving you time to cycle maybe 3-4 gears. That is a lot better than a plain gear cycler, so I will admit for a team that can hit those fast, accurate shooting goals (as Dr. Joe said) it's a viable strat... if you're alone. If you have a couple of gearbots on your alliance, you shouldn't bother cycling back and forth and just collect close to the goal and shoot fast.
Edit: Not sure how timing would work for 7 gear cycles, 150 pts, and climbing. It might happen, but I wouldn't bet on it.

I didn't do any timing or math, I just wanted to put out an extreme example. Something that may be seen with a super-bot paired with 2 bots keeping defense from happening on said super-bot. And a fair bit of luck with game pieces in the right locations/clusters. Also don't forget about teams that may have an insane autonomous (WAVE Robotics in 2015 comes to mind).
